and mucronately doubly serrate. He says that it is closely related to C. stipulata 

 Winkler. The bracts of the fruit are described as "obliquely ovate, mucronato- 

 acute at the apex, irregularly mucronato-inciso-serrate, often sub-bilobed, . . . 

 slightly involute and semi-embracing the nut at the base, 9-11 mm. long." The 

 nut is " densely pubescent toward the top," but otherwise seems to be glabrous. 

 The relationship of this species needs further investigation.

1 agree with Winkler (1914) that C. yedoensis Maximowicz is identical with this 

 species; I do not understand why Winkler describes Savatier's No. 1172 as a new 

 variety, this number having been regarded by C. Maximowicz as one of his t>-pe 

 specimens. Besides I cannot see any real difference between Winkler's var. Jablon- 

 ^zkyi and the type.
