(By I. H. Burk, F.L.S.) 
1. Salix alba, Linn. Sp. Pl. ed. 1, p. 1021; Anderss. in DC. 
Prod. xvi. 2, p. 211; F. P. Smith, Chinese Materia Med. p. 232 ; 
Debeaux, Fl. Shangh. p. 57 ; Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. v. p. 629; 
Fauvel in Mém. Soc. Sc. Nat. Cherbourg, xxi. p. 354. 
Norra Curva (Smith); KraNGsU: Plain of Shanghai, 
occasionally cultivated (Debeaux); CHUSAN ARCHIPELAGO (Cantor 
ex Fauvel with a query). 
Widely spread in Europe and Northern Asia, and (?) cultivated 
in Northern India. 
Both Debeaux and F. P. Smith speak of the use of leaves of 
this willow in the adulteration of tea, and name it Peh-yang. 
I have seen no specimens. That the Chinese do prepare willow- 
leaves for an adulterant of tea is assured from other sources; 
but it is not clear whether it is this species and this only which 
is used by them.
