Not having seen a specimen I am not sure if this is a good species or only a 

 form of M. cathayana Hemsley. There seems to be no Morus in Japan which is 

 closely related to the North American M. rubra Linnaeus as assumed by Bailey, 

 his Morus japonica being M. acidosa Griffith (see p. 297).

This distinct species seems to be confined to the northwestern Himalaya. It 

 is easily distinguished by the very coarse irregular dentation of its long-pointed 

 leaves. The styles are sessile, and the sepals of the 9 flowers are obovate-oblong, 

 glabrous and only cihate at the apex. The sepals of the cf flowers are oblong and 

 rather densely hirsute-pubescent on the outer surface. The shape and serration 

 of the leaves are similar to those of M. mongolica Schneider, but in that species 

 the ovaries bear a distinct style.
