Western Hupeh: north and south of Ichang, woods, alt- 1200- 

 1800 m., June 5, 1907 (No. 2992^; thin tree 8-10 m. tall); Changj^ang 

 Hsien, alt. 1200-1800 m., November 1907 (No. 553); without precise 

 locahty, A. Henry (No. 6791). Also in Mandshuria, Korea and Japan. 



It does not seem possible to separate Decaisne's Aria tiliaefolia from the tj^^e 

 of this species, not even as a variety, though there is apparently a slight difference in 

 the shape of the leaves of the specimens from Hokkaido and of those from Hondo. 

 Of the Chinese specimens Wilson's No. 2992* agrees with those from Hondo, while 

 Henry's No. 6791 agrees with those from Hokkaido. Wilson's No. 553 is without 

 leaves, but in its other characters seems to agree perfectly with S. alnifolia K. Koch.
