NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Transbaikalia to Kamtchatka and Korea. 



Of this species I have only seen a specimen collected by V. Komarov, prov. Amur, 

 fiuvium Sutiir, June 13, 1895, with cf flowers and with fruits). The plant which 

 Maximowicz (in Mem. Sav. Etr. Acad. Sci. St. Petersbourg, IX. 244 [Prim. Fl. 

 Amur.] [1859]) collected and distributed under the name S. myrtilloides, var. 

 nmarkica Trautvetter& Meyer (in Middendorff, Reise Sibir. I. pt. 2, Bot. abt. 1, 

 80 [Fl. Ochot.] [1847]), is mentioned by Andersson (in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. Handl. 

 VI. 98 [1867]) under S. rugulosa, subspec. finmarkica. According to Andersson and 

 von Seemen, 1. c. 226 (1909), S. rugulosa is a hybrid between S. aurita Linnaeus and 

 S. myrtilloides Linnaeus, the oldest name of which would be aS. onusta Besser {Enum. 

 PL Volhyn. 78 [1821]). See also the keys on p. 83 and p. 85.

NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Kamtchatka: Avatschka Bay, Beechey & K. 

 H. Mertens (type, ex Andersson). 



I know this species only from Andersson's description and from Hooker & 

 Arnott's plate. Its taxonomic position seems rather uncertain. Very doubtful are 

 the forms S. fuscescens, /3? minor Andersson, 1. c. 230 (1868) (S. myrtilloides f. 1 et 2, 

 Chamisso in Linnaea, VI. 539 [1831]), and S. fuscescens, var. dasycarpa Trautvetter 

 (ex Herder in Act. Hort. Petrop. XL 409 [1891]), types: " Providenzbucht," end of 

 July 1881, Dobrotworsky, and " Beringsinsel," 1879, Dybowsky.

Of this section there seems to be in eastern Asia only the following species.^ 



* Herder, in Acta Hort. Petrop. XL 410 (1891) mentions sterile specimens of 5ah'i 

 tristis Aiton (Hort. Kew. III. 393 [1789]) from Kamtchatka, Kaslalsky (in Herb. 

 Petrop.). The identification of this material may be wrong.
