rather broad and thick gland seems to be a very characteristic feature in all the 

 forms belonging to S. japonica Thunberg.

JAPAN. Hondo: Yamakita, on rocks, May 8, 1899, U. Faurie (No. 3700; 

 9 type, ex von Seemen). 



This interesting plant has, according to von Seemen, thin, very reddish-brown 

 branchlets, narrow and acuminate leaves and very short petioles. The ovaries are 

 glabrous and have short pedicels of about the length of the oval gland. 1 have not 

 yet seen a specimen of the 9 plant nor of what is called the male S. Fauriei by 

 L6veille, 1. c. (Hakone, rocks, July 2, 1892, U. Faurie, No. 7691). Leveill6 says: 

 " rhachide rufo-villosa; stamina 3."

I have not seen a specimen from our area, and the species is not mentioned by Ko- 

 marov (Fl. Mansh.). 



Ledebour {Fl. Alt. IV. 270 [1833]) describes three varieties: var. ovata, var. orhi- 

 culata, and var. cordata, based on the shape of the leaves. Andersson followed him 

 in 1867, but in 1868 he called the var. ovata var. alnoides and var. cordata var. 

 sabulosa. As Turczaninow (1. c.) says, we can find leaves of all the three kinds on 

 the same plant. The species is very near S. hastata Linnaeus, but differs from 

 it chiefly in the longer petioles and pedicels and in the straight hairs of the silky 

 pubescence of the catkins which are more matted in S. hastata Linnaeus.
