Distribution: also Kiangsu (J. Hers, nos. 1011, 1071); southern Man- 

 churia, Korea. 



This is a remarkable species easily recognized by its large peculiarly 

 shaped leaves which are furnished at the truncate apex with an elongated 

 lanceolate or linear-lanceolate middle lobe and with usually several 

 lateral elongated teeth; the leaves are usually 8-12 cm. long, but on coppice 

 shoots may attain 17 cm. in length and as much in width; the dull orange- 

 yellow slender-stalked fruits are about 1 cm. high. According to Loesener's 

 description his Celtis spec, from Shantung is apparently C. koraiensis.
