Saliz.] CXLI. SALICINEX. (J. D. Hooker.) 638 
A small tree, becoming a shrub at high altitudes; shoots puberulous. Leaves 
1-3 in., dull green above with impressed nerves. Male catkins lin.; fem. 4-6 in., 
erecto-patent, peduncle tomentose with 3—4 short leaves rounded at the base ; bracts 
broadest at the tip, often notched or 2-fid. Capsule -} in., gradually narrowed into 
the style. 
VAR, crassijulis, Anderss. in DC. 1. c. 270; leaves smaller, catkins 1 in. dense-fld., 
bracts broader, style subentire, stigmas shorter.—Sikkim with the type. 
,14. S. eriophylla, Anderss. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. 48; DC. Prodr. 
xvi.ii. 270; a large bush, shoots tomentose, leaves coriaceous lanceolate 
acute or acuminate sinuate-crenate dull green above with impressed nerves, 
densely silvery silky or woolly beneath, catkins shortly peduncled dense-fld., 
stamens 2 free, bracts broadly obovate densely villous, capsules minute 
sessile subglobosely ovoid obtuse woolly, style deeply cleft, stigmas suberect 
2-fid. S. psilostigma, Anderss. in Act. Holm. 1850, 496. S. viminalis, var.

KnasrA Hrrrs, alt. 4-5000 ft., J. D. H. & T. T. vou 
A spreading shrub with suberect branches. Leaves 2~4 in., very shortly petioled, 
base usually rounded or subcordate; stipules subcordate. Male catkins 1 in., 
narrow ; bracts very obtuse, villous; stamens hairy, anthers yellow; fem. 13-2 in.; 
disk narrow. Capsule about 4 in.; stigmas very short.—Andersson seems to have 
abandoned the name of psilostigma, which has priority in the Linn. Journ.; he 
describes the style as nearly hidden by the hairs of the capsule. 
15. S. eriostachya, Wall. Cat. 3704; branches more or less glaucous, 
leaves elliptic-lanceolate acute entire sparsely pubescent or silky on both 
surfaces old glabrate or silky on the midrib, catkins on long leafy peduncles, 
stamens 2 free, bracts broadly obovate hairy, capsules sessile ovoid-conic 
pubescent at length glabrate, style 2-cleft, stigmas long filiform quite entire.

Nepat, Wallich. ? Buoran, Griffith. 
A large shrub or a tree, branches reddish or ashy, quite glabrous. Leaves 
2-24 in., acute at both ends, disk green with an ashy midrib above, pubescence short 
beneath and hardly glaucous. Fem. catkins 14-2 in., curved, spreading, peduncle 
pubescent. Capsules 1— in., angled, dark brown.—Andersson regards this as nearest 
to S. Daltoniana. 
16. S. longiflora, Anderss. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iv. 50 ; DC. Prodr. 
Xvi. 11. 271; shoots and petioles silky, branchlets glabrous divaricate, leaves 
elliptie or elliptic-lanceolate acute quite entire dull green above glabrous 
and glaucous when old not shining beneath, fem. catkins on leafy peduncles 
very slender lax-fld. pendulous, bracts obtuse brown glabrous or sparsely 
Pubescent, capsules small sessile broadly ovoid aeute quite glabrous, style 
Very short slender 2-fid, stigmas erect 2-partite. 
SIKKIM HIMALAYA ; Lachen, alt. 9000 ft., J. D. H., Pantling. > 
A small tree, 10-30 ft. ; bark of branches black. Leaves variable, smaller 1-2 
larger 3-6 in.; petiole slender. Fem. catkins 2-5 in., à in. diam., nearly glabrous, 
€xuous ; bracts i in., membranous, shortly villous. Capsules $ in., base thickened ; 
stigmatic lobes spreading.— Andersson compares the catkins with those of S. elegans, 
° eaves with those of S. Daltoniana. In the London Journal and De Candolle’s 
romus Andersson cites longiflora as a plant so named by Wallich in Herb. Hook., 
ut this is an oversight; on some of the specimens he has himself written “ S. 
giflora, Anderss,” Neither species or name exists in Wallich's Herbarium, nor 
did Wallich ever see the plant.
