There are no specimens of Alnus from northern China in the herbarium 

 of the Arnold Arboretum and no traveler since David seems to have 

 collected a species of Alnus, but Hance (in Jour. Bot. xiii. 137 [1875]) 

 mentions among the plants sent to him by Bretschneider from Chili a 

 species of Alnus whose nearest connection according to him seems to be 

 with A. incana.
