ULMACEAE. — CELTIS 283 
subglabris 1-1.5 cm. longis suffulti; putamina globosa, hilo valde obtuso vix foveo- 
lata, ceterum in facie subregulariter exigue foveolata, tenuiter costata, 4-5 mm. 
longa et 3-4 mm. crassa. 
CHINA. Fokien: without precise locality, Dunn's Exped. April-June 1905, 
(Hongkong Herb. No. 3433, as C. australis; with very young hairy fruits). 
NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Southern Korea: Mokhpo, May 1909, Taquet 
(No. 2542; with old flowers); Quelpaert, “in pago Tschangmani "? (“ Tupyan- 
genapi" ex Léveill August 1909, Taquet (No. 3213, type-number; fruits 
almost ripe); “in sylvis Sampangsan," October 1908, Taquet (No. 1375; with ripe 
fruits and sterile). ; 
This variety is well characterized by the peculiar shape of its leaves, which 
mostly are broadest at the upper end below the caudate apex. The specimen from 
Fokien agrees well with those from Korea. Nakai, in his Flora Koreana, apparently 
confused it with C. sinensis Persoon, which is easily distinguished by the shape of 
its leaves, their different pubescence and serration, and also by its glabrous ovaries 
and the more irregularly and more deeply pitted stones. Our plant has no close 
relation to C. australis Linnaeus from southern Europe and western Asia, but it is 
most nearly related to the typical C. Biondii Pampanini, see p. 272, which has the 
same nervation and pubescence of the leaves and the same fruits and stones. Wil- 
son’s specimens from Kuling, mentioned under the type, look somewhat intermedi- 
ate between it and this variety, but the shape of the leaves is more oblong as it is In 
the type and not obovate. 
, Sect. 2. SPONIOCELTIS Planchon in Ann. Sci. Nat. sér. 3, X. 263 (1848); 
in De Candolle, Prodr. XVII. 180 (1873). 
The main difference of this section from sect. Euceltis is the elongated-cymose 
female inflorescence. But, as far as I can judge by the material before me, the 
Species of sect. Sponioceltis are so closely connected with those of Euceltis that it 
would be a more natural taxonomic arrangement to unite both these sections and 
to arrange the species in certain series according to their affinity. But as long as I 
cannot study all these species I think it best not to make any attempt to distin- 
guish different series. According to Planchon’s disposition the following new species 
belongs to sect. Sponioceltis.
