var. ciineata n var., with smaller softer fruits and more cuneate 

 short-stalked leaves. 5'. aronioides n. sp., differs from «S. Keissleri 

 Rehder nov. comb. {Micromeles Descaisneana Schneider 19üb, non 

 Zabel 1903, and var. Keissleri Sehn.; M. Keissleri Sehn. \ Pincs Keiss- 

 leri Lev.j in the villose inflorescence, the subglobose fruits, the 

 srouter and shorter petioles and in the broader, more obovate and 

 more coarsely crenate serrate leaves. 5. calo'neura n. comb. [Micro- 

 meles caloneitra Stapf., Pyrits caloiieitra Bean). 5. ineliosiiiifolia n. STp., 

 related with 5". Schwerinii R. and vS. caloneura R. The former differs 

 chiefly in the more pubescent leaves with only 13—16 pairs of 

 veins, in the longer petioles and in the much smaller fruit, while 

 the latter is easily distinguished b}^ its narrower more oblong leaves 

 mostly broadest about or above the middle and gradually narrowed 

 at the base, with fewer veins and longer petioles. 5. Folgneri nov. 

 comb. {iMicrom. Folgneri Schneider). 



At the end of the genus Sorbits we find a conspectus of the 

 species occurring in Eas tern Asia , in which a large number of 

 new species and new combinations are published: 5. xiDilhorieiira 

 n. sp. (Coli. Henry) very closely related to S pallescens R., but 

 with larger lenticellate fruit and glabrous petioles underside of the 

 midrib and lateral veins. It is apparently still closer related to 5. 

 citspidata Sehn., on account of its larger lenticellate 3-celled fruit. 

 5. Ditnnii n. sp., (Coli. Dünn; Fokien) allied to 5. Hedluridii Sehn, 

 and 5. Aria Crantz. The former is easily distinguished by the larger 

 leaves, by the 3—5 styles connate onh^ for half their length and 

 woolly at the base and by the lanceolate sepals pubescent on both 

 sides. 5. Aria differs chiefi}'' in the more lobulate leaves more or 

 less rounded at the apex and white-pubescent on the midrib and 

 the petiole, in the partly superior ovary, in the pubescence at the 

 base of the style and in the longer and narrower sepals. S. granii- 

 losa n. comb., 5. polycnrpa n. comb., S. Henryi n. nom. {Microrn. 

 Schiverinii Sehn. 1906), 5. alnifolia var. lobulata n. comb., S. nl-tii- 

 folia var. sitbmollis n. var., 6". japonica var. cnlocarpa n. var., S. 

 Henisleyi n. comb.. S. ferruginea n. comb , 5. Thonisonü n. comb., 

 5. GriffitJiii n. comb., S. Jzohimensis n. comb., S. rhamnoides n. comb., 

 5. khasiaiia n. comb., 5. verrucosa n. comb. These new combinations 

 had been described as Micromeles or Pyrits. 



Malus primifolia Borkh. var. rinln n. comb, with synonymy and 

 remarks on M. prwiifolia and M. ringo. The variety was known as 

 a cultivated plant in Japan before Wilson discovered the wild 

 tree in China. Older botanists considered it as of hybrid origin M. 

 theifera n. sp. (Synon. M. baccatn Hemsley non Desf., Pyrus specta- 

 bilis Hemsley, non Aiton, M. baccata var. Jiimalaica Sehn. pars.). 

 M. transitoria Sehn. var. toringoides n. var., with larger, partly en- 

 tire leaves and larger fruit, may be a distinct species. A key to 

 the species of Eastern Asia is added containing as new: M. bac- 

 cata f. Jackii (Korea), M. Sieboldii n, comb. [M. Toringo Sieb., Py- 

 rus? rivularis Gra}?-, P. Sieboldii Regel etc.). M. Sieboldii var. arbo- 

 rescens n. var., widely distributed in Japan with more arborescent 

 habit, less pubescent, somewhat larger and usually less deeply 

 divided leaves, often lobed only at the end of vigorous shoots and 

 usually nearly glabrous at maturity. M. Sieboldii var. calocarpa n. 

 var. with large handsome bright red fruits, resembles M. Zitnii R., 

 but is easily distinguished by the 3—4 styles and by the mostly 

 lobed leaves of the shoots.
