On East Indian Salices. By Dr. N. J. AxpEnÉSON, Professor of 
Botany in the University of Stockholm. Communicated by

Iw the Transactions of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences 
(Kongl. Wet. Akademiens. Handlingar), 1850, pp. 465-502, I 
have already given a Synopsis of the Willows then known from 
the East Indies. Before that time, Roxburgh ('Plants of the 
Coast of Coromandel,’ 1795) had described and figured S. tetra- 
sperma; Don (‘Prodromus Flore Nepalensis,’ Lond. 1825), 8. 
disperma, S. cuspidata, and S. japonica; Fries (Nov. Fl. Suec. 
Mont. i. 1832) S. nobilis and S. lenta; and Wallich (‘A Nume- 
rical List of Dried Specimens of Plants, &c.) enumerated S. Lind- 
leyana, S. obovata, S. elegans, S. grisea, S. Kamanensis, 8. erio- 
stachya, S. pyrina, S. glabrescens, S. urophylla, S. calophylla, S. 
densa, and S. babylonica. 
During a tour to the Continent and England, in the year 1850, 
I had opportunity to examine almost all these species: at Berlin 
I determined the few forms brought from the Himalaya by W. 
Hofmeister in the expedition of Prince Waldemar of Prussia; in 
Paris I saw the collections of Jacquemont and Perrottet; and in 
London Mr. Kippist gave me a liberal access to the East Indian 
herbarium of the Linnean Society. Upon those materials was 
that Synopsis founded. I there gave diagnoses and descriptions 
of twenty-five species, to which were added a few “incertæ” and 
“ dubia.” 
Now, having been so fortunate as to make use of the extremely 
rich collections formed in that vast land, and in the higher regions of 
the Himalaya mountains by Dr. J. D. Hooker and Dr. T. Thomson, 
of which the Salices were handed over to me by the generosity of 
Sir William Hooker and Dr. Hooker, I not only have had occa- 
sion to review the previously published determinations, but also 
to describe a very considerable number of new forms.
