Harms, H., Ueber die systematische Stellung der Aralia 

 Chabrieri Hort. (Verh. bot Ver. Prov. Brandenburg. LVI. p. 

 (26)— (28). 1914.) 



Die in den Gärtnerzeitschriften und Katalogen geführte Aralia 

 Chabrieri Hort, ist nach Verf. ein schmalblättriges Jugendstadium 

 der Celastracee Elaeodendron Orientale Jacq. Die Blühbarkeit ist mit 

 dem Erreichen einer bestimmten Blattform verknüpft; denn wenn 

 die Blätter breiter werden, fängt die Pflanze zu blühen an. Die 

 Literaturnachweise zeigen, dass diese Formenmannigfaltigkeit der 

 Blätter schon bekannt war fCommerson 1789). Die Pflanze stammt 

 auch nicht aus N. -Kaledonien, sondern aus Madagascar und 

 von den Mascarenen. Matouschek (Wien).

 graphy of different lands. Harshberger.
