fulva, 1-14 lin. longa; stamina duo bractea duplo longiora, 
filamentis glabra; glandule 2. Floris feminei bractea ei floris

attingens; ovarium pilosum, conicum; styli 2, fere ovarium 
equantes. Fructus 14 lin. longus. 
SZECHUEN: South Wushan (4. Henry, 5678!), Tchenkeou- 
tin (Farges, 795!). Mus. Brit.; Herb. Kew.; Mus. Paris. 
A remarkably fine willow, related to S. moupinensis, Franchet. 
Tt is perhaps the largest-leaved willow known. It is with some 
hesitation that I place this species, S. moupinensis, aud S. Henryt 
in the section Hastate in spite of a real affinity to S. elegans and 
S. Miquelii. Much more material is needed before a satisfactory 
study of them can be prosecuted. The Himalayan species as 
well as those of the far East need further investigation. 
"10. Salix ($ Viminales) floccosa, Burkill, n. sp. 
Arbuscula humilis, ramis tortuosis crassis cortice nigris vel 
atro-fuscis. Folia obovata vel obovato-elliptica, 1-23 pull. longa, 
7-12 lin. lata, supra glabra, subtus pilis longis juuiora sericea 
matura floccosa vel glabrescentia, margine minute serrata vel 
integra, apiee obtusa vel rotundata, basi obtusa vel aliquo modo 
rotundata, venis lateralibus intra conspicuis; petiolus 2-5 lin. 
longus. Amenta coxtanea, sat crassa, ad apices ramorum 
brevium 3-4-foliatorum enata, mascula ad 14 lin. longi, 
feminea florentia masculis equilonga vel paululo longiora, dein 
fructifera ad 3 poll. elongata. Floris masculi bractea obovata, 
apice rotundata, pilis longis tecta, fere medium filamentorum 
attingens, fusca; stamina duo, filamentis 2 lin. longis basi hirsutis ; 
glandulæ duæ. Floris feminei bractea ovarium fere æquans, el 
floris masculi similis ; ovarium sessile, pilis longis parce tectum, 
l lin. longum; stylus 3 lin. longus, bracteam superans, ut in 
Salice Daltoniana conspicue furcatus, ramis bifidis. ^ Fructus 
maturus 2-23 lin. longus. 
Yunnan: Maeulehan, and rocks of Laolongtoug above Yen- 
tzehay at 11,000 ft., also Likiang at 12,500 ft., always on a 
calcareous formation (Delavay, 2200, 3105, 4323, 4678!) Herb. 
Kew.; Mus. Paris. 
The large bracts, conspicuous veins, and low growth dis- 
tinguish this willow from S. sikkimensis, S. Daltoniana, and 
others of this Central Asiatic affinity.
