282 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
are young plants in the Arnold Arboretum raised from seeds sent from the Agri- 
cultural Department at Sapporo. 
According to the author’s description C. koraiensis Nakai in Tokyo Bot. Mag. 
XXVII. 191 (1909); in Jour. Coll. Sci. Tokyo, XXXI. 191 (Fl. Kor. II.) (1911) 
from Korea * Kyóngsan: Changdo et monte Phalchoryóng," T. Uchiyama (type 
ex Nakai) and “ Ham-gyóng: circa Somui et Quensan," T. Nakai (co-typeex Nakai), 
has larger black fruits (vulgo 1.3 em. longa"), the pedicels of which are 2.5-3 
em. long. The leaves are described as * 5-11 em. longis, 2-7 cm. latis . . . praeter 
basi argute serratis, serratulis apice incurvis." Unfortunately Nakai does not 
clearly describe the stone. His phrase “ endocarpio osseo integro " seems to indi- 
cate that the stones are smooth. In that case C. koraiensis would be closely re- 
lated to C. Bungeana Blume, but on account of the serration of the leaves I am 
inclined to believe that Nakai's species may be the same as C. jessoensis. Not hav- 
ing seen a specimen, I cannot decide the question. Nakai compares his species 
with C. occidentalis Linnaeus from North America, which differs in many respects, 
while Koidzumi says of his C. jessoensis: “ Species Celtis Tournefortit Lam. affinis." 
Lamarck's species from southern Europe and western Asia differs widely in its 
bluish green leaves, its yellowish red fruits, in its almost smooth stones, etc. The 
nearest relative to either C. jessoensis or C. koraiensis is C. cerasifera Schneider
