 Hance, type; fruits not yet ripe); hills near Peking, August 1876, S. W. Williams

 (No. 258; ripe fruits). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Korea: Chemulpo, cultivated, September 15, 

 1905, J. G. Jack (fruiting branchlets) ; same locahty, in horto residentis germanici, 

 September 1906, U. Faurie (No. 202; fruiting branchlets). 



In liis monograph Winkler described this species under the name of C. Paxii. 

 I cannot separate Winkler's C. stipulata, of which I have seen a co-type, even as a 

 variety from the typical C. Turczaninovii, which is confined to northern China and, 

 according to Nakai, to southern Korea. The bracts of this species are rather large 

 and sometimes almost obovate. The peculiar development of the beards in the 

 axils of the lateral veins on the under surface of the leaves of this species may be 

 seen more or less clearly in most of the species of the genus, even in C. orientalis 

 Miller where the " wreath " is mostly hidden by overlying straight hairs. Whether 

 the persistence of the stipules is a character of special importance for our species 

 and its varieties or not needs further observation. The form and dentation of 

 the small leaves as indicated in the key are distinct. 



Carpinus Turczaninovii, var. ovalifolia Winkler. See p. 427. 

 Carpinus Turczaninovii, var. firmifolia Winkler in Bot. Jahrb. L. 505 (1914). 

 CHINA. Kwei-chou: Ma-jo, September 1908, J. Cavalerie (No. 3135, type, 

 ex Winkler). 



According to its pubescent nutlets this variety may belong to or represent a 

 different species. Not having seen a specimen I cannot decide this question, but 

 the flora of Kwei-chou contains a large number of endemic species. 



7. Carpinus Tanakaeana Makino in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XXVIII. 32 (February 

 1914). 



Carpinus Turczaninowii, var. Makinoi Winkler in Bot. Jahrb. L. Suppl. 505 

 (March 1914). 



JAPAN. Shikoku : prov. Tosa, Mt. Yokogura, T. Makino (type of C. Tana- 

 kaeana, ex Makino) ; same prov., 1889, T. Makino (No. 277; type of var. Makinoi, 

 ex Winkler). 



I know this species only from the description and there is nothing in the rich 

 Japanese material before me which I can refer to it. According to Makino the 

 leaves are small, 1.2-4.6 cm. long and 0.8-3 cm. broad, acute or shortly acuminate
