Kudoa is a series of manuscripts, created by Genkei Masamune, Tokio Suzuki and Noriaki Fukuyama of Taihoku Imperial University Herbarium to honor Yushun Kudo, a professor of Department of Agriculture and Science and the first director of Herbarium, who died in 1932. Written in Japanese, Kudoa was published from 1933 to 1937 in total five volumes, each containing four issues. Except occasional research papers on the other areas, Kudoa collected the research results of taxonomy and ecology studies mainly based on Taiwan, including regional flora and index of plant name. In most issues, there were additional sections of "excerptions" and "miscellaneous reports"; the former is a number of Japanese abstracts of selected papers from journals of various contents in many countries; the latter includes a variety of topics of conversation, editorial notes, and committee reports.
