The genus Aster of the family Compositae is of widespread occurrence in North America and in Asia. 72 species, 49 varieties and 36 forms of Aster are included in Gray's Manual (Fernald, 1950). According to Kitamura's monograph, we have in Japan 23 species, 9 subspecies, 13 varieties and 4 forms of this genus (Kitamura, 1937). Tahara and Shimotomai (1926) were the first to report polyploid species in Japanese Aster. Shimotomai and Huziwara (1942) studied the chromosome morphology of some species of Aster and gave the name "L2E-chromosome" for the largest nucleolar chromosome with a secondary constriction. Gymnaster, Kalimeris and Heteropappus are endemic to East Asia. These three genera are not sharply separated from the genus Aster and were formerly regarded as sections of Aster. The genus Erigercn is also closely related to the genus Aster. The members of Erigeron are mainly confined to the North American continent. Japan has only one endemic species, i.e., E. acre. However, some American species of Erigeron such as E. annuus and E. canadensis are naturalized in field and waste places over almost all of Japan. The genus Solidago and the small genera, Callistephus, Rhynchospermum, Lagenophora, etc. are also included in Asiatic Astereae.
