HORACE AE. — MORUS 301 



Folia margine satis anguste serrata v. dentata, dentibus nunquam apice longe 



aristatis. 



Syncarpia glabra, distincti cylindrica, longe pedunculata. Stylus distinctus 



sed stigmatibus ut videtur brevior. Folia magna, fere rotunda, basi cor- 



data, apice breviter acuta. Planta (an etiam juvenilis) fere glaberrima. 



4. M. notabilis. 

 Syncarpia in rhachi plus minusve villosa, breviter elliptica. Stylus longus stig- 

 matibus saepe vix brevior. Folia magnitudine et forma valde variabilia. 

 Planta etiam adulta fere semper plus minusve pilosa ... 8. M. acidosa.

This species is easily distinguished by its very long fruiting catkins, the color 

 of which, according to Hooker f., is yellowsh white. Its nearest relative seems 

 to be M. macroura Miquel {PI. Jungh. 42 [1850]. — Bureau in De Candolle, Prodr. 

 XVII. 247 [1873], sub species dubiae. — Koorders, Exkursionsfl. Java, II. 84 

 [1912]), the type of which was collected by Junghuhn in Java. According to 

 Koorders this is a real Morus, forming a high tree (30 m.) in the forests. Judging 

 by the description it must be very similar to M. laevigata, but unfortunately I 

 have not seen a specimen. 



2. Morus cathayana Hemsley. See p. 292. 



1 The following three species described by L6veill6, of which I have seen the 

 types, do not belong to Morus or even to the Moraceae. The first, Morus calva L6- 

 veill6 in Fedde, Rep. Spec. Nov. XIII. 265 (1914), is Coriaria sinica Maximowicz, 

 while the second, M. Mairei L6veill6, 1. c. (1914), is Acalypha szcchuanensis Hutch- 

 inson in Sargent, PI. Wilson, II. 524 (1916), which therefore has to be named 

 Acalypha Mairei Schneider, n. nom. Also the third, M. integrifolia L^veill^ & 

 Vaniot, in Bull. Acad. Int. Geogr. Bot. XVII. No. 210-211, p. iii (1907), does not 

 belong to the Moraceae.
