^ Seringe is the first author who makes this combination. The quotation " M. 

 alba, var. tatarica Marschall a Bieberstein" is wTong because the author \\Tites only 

 " M. alba, var. /3." Loudon also is often quoted as the author of this combination, 

 but he cites as his fourth species " M. (A.) tatarica Pal." and seems to regard it as 

 a kind of subspecies, saying in the text: "Very closely akin to M. alba L., and, 

 perhaps, originally produced from that species."
