ULMACEAE. — ULMUS 253 



Ad descriptionem addenda et emendanda : Arbor? ; ramuli novelli annotinique 

 glabri, flavo-brunnescentes, lenticellis elongatis flavescentibus satis numerosis ob- 

 tecti, vetustiores cinerascentes, rimosuli; gemmae satis evolutae non visae. Folia 

 lanceolato-elliptica, basi breviter attenuata v. rotundata v. fere cordata, plua 

 mimisve asymmetrica, apice satis sensim in acumen distinctum producta, supra 

 ut videtur intense viridia, satis levia, tantum in costa incisa sparsissime pilosa, sub- 

 tus pallidiora, tantum in axillis nervorum lateralium elevatorum lateris longioris 

 (imo apice excepto) 14-19 albo-barbulata, ceterum glabra ct vix scabriuscula, mar- 

 gine dupliciter serrata, serraturis primariis hand (v. vix) incurvis, minora 5-8 cm. 

 longa, 2-3.2 cm. lata, maxima ad 10-11 cm. longa et 4-4.3 cm. lata; petioli satis 

 tenues, tantum superne pilosuli, 0.6-1 cm. longi; stipulae late lanceolatae, ciliatae, 

 petiolis juvenilibus plus quam duplo longiores, mox caducae. Inflorescentiae plus 

 minusve elongato-cymosae, ad 12 mm. longae, pilosae; flores juveniles non vidi; 

 perigonia in basi fructum 5-6-loba, lobis oblongis ad medium v. paulo ultra medium 

 incisis ciliatis, ceterum glabra, pars superior pedicellorum parte inferiore pilosa 

 brevior (in typo) v. 2-234-plo longior (in specimine Thomsoniano) . Samarae 

 maturae obovatae v. obovato-rectangulares, basi subito in stipitem perigonio duplo 

 longiorem contractae, apice leviter emarginatae emarginatura brevi pilosa instruc- 

 tae ceterum glaberrimae, ad 18 mm. longae et 12 mm. latae; semina in centro 

 samarae sita, ab emarginatura distincte remota. 



INDIA. Kumaon: " Dwali, 8500 feet," R. Strachey & J. E. Winterbottom 

 (No. 3, type in Herb. Gray; with ripe fruits and leaves). Kashmir : "Banahal, 

 reg. temp., alt. 7500 ped.," T. Thomson (ex Herb. Ind. Or. sub nom. U. campes- 

 tris, a glabra in Herb. Gray; with young fruits and leaves). Kashmir: "reg. 

 temp. 5000 ped.," T. Thomson (a very poor sterile specimen distributed in Herb. 

 Ind. Or. as U. pedunculata Foug.?; an uncertain form). 



This seems to be a very interesting Species, to which apparently belongs Thom- 

 son's specimen from Kashmir, at Ganderbal, at 5000 feet, April 1848, which was 

 doubtfully referred to U. effusa by Brandis. Whether or not Thomson's specimen 

 from Banahal represents a distinct variety on account of the elongated upper part 

 of the pedicels needs further investigation, as I have seen only a poor specimen with 

 unripe fruits. The flowers seem to be very similar to those of the European U. 

 glabra Hudson, but otherwise the Himalayan plant may be more closely related to 

 U. Bergmanniana Schneider from central China, the inflorescence of which some- 

 times is a httle elongated. U. Brandisiana, however, differs from all the other 

 species of this series in the long stipe of its fruit (see also U. Bergmunniana, var.). 

 The species is named in honor of the late Sir Dietrich Brandis. 



5. Uhnus Uyematsui Hayata, Icon. PI. Formos. III. 174, t. 32 (1913). 

 CHINA. Formosa : Mt. Arisan, March 1913, K. Uyematsu (type, ex Hayata). 

 According to the description and plate this species seems closely related to U. 



Bergmanniana, var. lasiophylla Schneider. The leaves are described as elUptic or 

 oblong, up to 10 cm. long and to 4.5 cm. broad, and densely pubescent beneath. 

 The petioles are 4 mm. long. The inflorescence is elongate-cj-mose, the pedicels 

 are about 6 mm. (in the drawing up to 8 mm.) long and articulated in the middle. 

 The ripe fruits are yet unknown, and according to the plate the species belongs to 

 the ser. Glabrae, the seeds being in the centre of the samara. Besides the rather long 

 pedicels I cannot detect much difference between the Formosan Elm and the 

 pubescent variety of the species from central China. In the drawing the stipe of 

 the young samara is not longer than the 5-lobed perigone. The filaments of the 

 5 stamens seem to be only as long as the perigone.
