Abstract

<p>Regarding the eight alien species listed in “Florula Musashinoensis,” we investigated the date of their introduction to Japan and the first publication of their Japanese names. As a result of searching for the first collection in Japan, it was revealed three of the eight species were collected several years earlier than previously known. The first specimens collected in Japan of Amsinckia lycopsoides and Boltonia asteroides were stored in Musashi High School, while those of other species were found in other herbaria. As for their Japanese names, all eight species were first recorded in “Florula Musashinoensis.” If additional specimen information is gathered, it is possible that the dates of their first introduction to Japan will be pushed back even further. Precious specimens collected before World War II, such as those stored in Musashi High School, are sometimes found in schools. However, many of the old specimens stored in schools are currently at risk of being discarded, and there is an urgent need for investigation.</p>
