October 15 and 21, 1890 (sterile), April 1891 (<7), April 15, 1891 (9), Y. Tokubuchi; 
same locality, common, September 18, 1892, C. S. Sargent (small tree; sterile). 
According to Lackschewitz this species differs from S. daphnoides Villars: “ramulis 
tenuioribus, flaccidis, amentis paullo minoribus angustioribusque, squamis in 
amentis 9 ad basin glanduloso-crenulatis, germinibus vix compressis, stylo longiore, 
stipulis ovatis v. remiformibus (non semicordatis)," and from S. acutifolia Willdenow 
“ amentis approximatis, ramulis conferte assidentibus, squamis in floribus? glandu- 
loso-crenulatis, foliis latioribus in acumen minus longum productis nec non forms 
stipularum (non lanceolatis longe acutatis)."' 
There is a specimen of Wilson's from Hondo: Lake Towada, alt. 300-600 m., 
October 5, 1914 (No. 7616; tree 16-20 m. tall; girth 1.8-2.4 m.; sterile) which has 
Short-tomentose branchlets and remains doubtful.
