Alnus sitchensis, var. hamtschatica Callier, apud Schneider, III. Handl. Laub* 



holzk. I. 123 (1904). 

 Alnus alnobetulaj var. fruticosa Winkler in Engler, PJlanzenr. 1V.-61, IGO 



(pro parte) (1904). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Kamtchatka (ex Callier). 



1 have not seen a specimen of this variety, which needs further investigation. 

 I suppose that the following species also occurs in Kamtchatka, otherwise the 

 specimen of C. Wright may belong to this variety.
