Determined by ALFRED REHDEE. 

 SAMBUCUS L. 



Sambucus javanica Reinwardt ex Blume, Bijdr. Fl. Ned. Ind. 657 

 (1825). Schwerin in Mitt. Deutsch. Dendr. Ges. XVIII. 50 (1909). 



Western Hupeh: Patung Hsien, thickets, alt. 900-1200 m., 

 August 1907 (No. 2520). 



Sambucus Sieboldiana Blume apud Graebner in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 

 584 (1901). Schwerin in Mitt. Deutsch. Dendr. Ges. XVIII. 50 

 (1909). 



Sambucus racemosa, var. Sieboldiana Miquel in Ann. Mus. Lugd.-Bat. II. 265 



(1866). 

 Sambucus Sieboldiana Blume ex Miquel, I. c. (quasi synon. praeced.) 



Western Hupeh: north and south of Ichang, thickets, alt. 300- 

 900 m. (No. 2528); Fang Hsien, abundant, alt. 1500-2400 m., June 16, 

 1910 (No. 4490). Szech'uan: Sungpan, alt. 2100-2400 m., August 

 1910 (Nos. 4020, 4043). South Wushan, A. Henry (Nos. 5532, 5533). 



Sambucus Williamsii Hance, quoted as a synonym of this species by Count von 

 Schwerin, belongs to S. racemosa, as Hance's original specimens show; otherwise 

 Hance's name would have precedence, because the mentioning by Miquel of the 

 name S. Sieboldiana Blume as a synonym does not constitute publication.
