* Seringe is the first author who makes this combination. The quotation " M. 
alba, var. tatarica Marschall a Bieberstein” is wrong because the author writes only 
M. alba, var. 8.” Loudon also is often quoted as the author of this combination, 
but he cites as his fourth species “ M. (A.) tatarica Pal.” and seems to regard it as 
oe of subspecies, saying in the text: “Very closely akin to M. alba L., and, 
ps, originally produced from that species.”
