classification of this species, but the fruits and putarnen are not variable 

 individually. We have the specimens of typical form from China, 

 Hongkong and Formosa, and I saw many specimens of Chinese Celtis 

 sinensis both in Europsean and American Herbaria. A living tree is 

 in the back ground of the garden of the laboratoire de culture of Paris 

 Natural History Museum. This was raised from the seed collected 

 in China, and it agrees perfectly with Formosan and South-Chinese 

 typical form of Celtis sinensis. Heinrich Mayr in his ' Fremdlandische 

 Wald-und Parkbiiume fiir Europa ' says that Celtis sinensis does not 

 grow wild in Japan, but is cultivated. This is a great mistake, and I 

 wonder why he came to such a conclusion.
