before the leaves and are almost sessile. In S. Sieboldiana Blume the 9 bracts 
seem to be somewhat longer (ovate-lanceolate) and the stigmas shorter than in 
S. Buergeriana.

is species seems most closely related to S. Buergeriana Miquel, from which ac- 
cording to von Seemen it chiefly differs in its shorter female catkins, which appear 
with the leaves on short peduncles, and in its somewhat shorter pedicels and styles. 
I have not seen any specimen I could positively refer to it.

ex von Seemen; No. 551, in part; 9, co-type in Herb. Gray); Hondo: prov. 
Shinano, July 1894 (No. 113 ex Herb. Tokyo; doubtful form with fruits). 
This is a doubtful species very near S. Buergeriana Miquel, but, according to von 
Seemen, differing in its nearly sessile short ovaries with very short stigmas resem- 
bling those of S. purpurea Linnaeus. The 9 co-type which I have seen shows 
distinct pedicels and styles, the flowers resembling those of S. Buergeriana Miquel. 
The specimen from Shinano has nearly sessile ovaries but a distinct style and 
remains doubtful. It may be a hybrid between S. purpurea Linnaeus and S. Buer- 
geriana Miquel.

oliis iis S. Sieboldianae Blume valde affinis, sed tenuioribus subtus secus costas 
tere sericeo-villosis.” This is a doubtful form, of which only the plant is 
own. It has been omitted from the key.
