according to the statement that the fruits are "styHs stigmatibusque persistentibus 

 quasi echinata," undoubtedly refers to our species. 



1 Seringe quotes, p. 225, "Morus stylosa Sering. pi. XXII. (1854)," and in the 

 Atlas, p. 15, he gives the name as M. longistyla. According to his quotation it 

 seems that the Atlas appeared before the description, but the books before me both 

 bear the date 1855. On p. 229, under Morus indica, Seringe again refers to a 

 species " que je decris sous le nom de Morus longistyla." 



2 Bailey quotes M. japonica Audibert ex Seringe 226, but Seringe mentions only 

 a " M. japonica jard. Audib." as a synonym of his Morus stylosa (see under M. 

 acidosa GriflBth). Koidzumi quotes the same name and also a M. japonica 

 Noisette, but the last name is also a garden name for a plant in Hort. Noisette. 

 Koidzumi's new name, M. bombycis, is not appropriate at all because this Mulberry 

 is not (or very rarely?) used to feed silkworms.
