We thank M. Arakane for his guidance on the localities of Hosta alata in Oita Prefecture, and S. Fujii and Y. Kokami of Makino Botanical Garden for their guidance on the locality of H. longipes var. caduca in Kochi Prefecture. Specimens of H. alata, H. pulchella, H. sp. 1, and H. sp. 2 were collected from the protected areas of the Sobo Katamuki National (Kokutei) Park with the permission granted by the Oita and Miyazaki Prefectures and the local offices of Forestry Agency. Additionally, H. kikutii specimens were collected from the protected areas of the Osuzu and Wanitsuka Prefectural Natural Parks with the permission granted by the Miyazaki Prefecture and the local offices of Forestry Agency. We thank the Ministry of Environment?s Rare Species Conservation Promotion Office and Saki Funamoto of Kyushu Open University for their assistance in obtaining collection permits.

N2 - Molecular phylogenetic studies of Hosta pulchella (Asparagaceae) and its relatives, which are native to Japan, have been conducted and resulted in a highly resolved phylogeny. Specifically, the relationship of H. pulchella to H. alata Hatusima, nom. nud. is investigated. These data include genome-wide SNPs obtained through conducting multiplexed ISSR genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq). Based on these phylogenetic results, morphological observations, distribution, and differences in flowering periods of H. alata collections sympatric with H. pulchella, we find the two species closely related, but distinct. As such, we formally describe Hosta alata sp. nov. from the Oita Prefecture of Kyushu island, southwestern Japan.
