CHINA. Formosa: Tamsui, A. Henry (No. 1404; c^; No. 1473, sterile), 
creek, February 24, A. Henry (No. 1068*; tree 3-5 m. tall; with fruits), May 
8, A. Henry (No. 10685; with old fruits); Ta kao, bank of creek far in (3 miles), 
July 15, A. Henry (No. 1068; tree 3-5 m. tall; with fruits); Banchoryo, 1909, S. 
Kusano (type of var. Kusanoi, ex Hayata). 
This species is readily distinguished by the brownish pubescence of its young — 
parts, the coarsely serrate multi-nerved leaves, the short fruiting catkins, and by 
the nervation of its old leaves. It appears to be nearly related to S. tonkinensis 
men or to some of those forms of S. tetrasperma Roxburgh of which I have not yet 
been able to see sufficient material.

June 24, 1906, U. Faurie (No. 177). 
According to von Seemen (Salic. Jap. 25 [1903]) this species is the same a5 8. 
cardiophylla Trautvetter, see p. 103, which is not mentioned either by Komarov 
or by Nakai, although Komarov says (1907) that S. Maximowiczii is a very 0H- 
ferent species. The plant collected by Faurie agrees very well with Komarov's 
description and plate. The ovate-lanceolate, long-acuminate leaves measure UP to
