This species is a native of the temperate parts of China, from 
which it has been widely spread by man. It is cultivated in 
Cochinchina. Hance says it is only cultivated in South China. 
Tbe form with pendent branches now so common in Europe is 
not the common form of China. 
According to Debeaux the Chinese call it Tiao-lieou or Lieou- 
pi. They make use of both the wood and the wool of the seed.

Flowerless branehes would pass for S. fragilis, Linn., but with 
the male catkins (which sex alone has been collected) it would 
seem nearest to the North American S. nigra, Marsh. The 
lowest flowers on the catkins have 5-7 stamens, while the upper- 
most have 3 or 2. This Hance failed to observe.

Europe and Northern Asia from the Atlantic to the Pacific ; 
also introduced into India. The plant of the East differs in the 
leaves from that of the West. . 
A plant, perhaps Salix Caprea x phylicifolia, but certainly 
very near S. Caprea, has been collected in the province of Chihli 
at Jehol (David, 1690!) and is preserved in the Museum ac 
Paris.
