BETULACEAE. — CARPINUS 441 



and mucronately doubly sorrate. He says that it is closely related to C. stipulaia 

 Winkler. The bracts of the fruit are described as "obliciuely ovate, inucronato- 

 acute at the apex, irregularly inucronato-inciso-serrate, often sub-bilobcd, . . . 

 slightly involute and semi-embracing the nut at the base, 9-11 mm. long." The 

 nut is " densely pubescent toward the top," but otherwise seems to be glabrous. 

 The relationship of this species needs further investigation.

I agree with Winkler (1914) that C. yedoensis Maximowicz is identical with this 

 species; I do not understand why Winkler descril)c.s Savatier's No. 1172 as a new 

 variety, this number having been regarded by C. Maxhuowicz as one of his type 

 specimens. Besides I cannot see any real difference between AN'inklcr's var. Jablon- 

 szkyi and the type.
