In dry shady woods : New York to Pensylvania. h. : 
April, May. v. v. The native place of this willow 
is not mentioned by Willdenow ; but a plant in the 
collection of G. Anderson, Esq. which was found 
among a promiscuous collection of willows made by 
me on the Catskill mountains, New York, decides the 
question. To this gentleman’s acute observations | am 
indebted for the present division of Salices ** vernatio 
revoluta," as likewise for the greater part of the pre- 
sent arrangement of American willows.

In shady dry woods: New York to Virginia, h» April. 
v.v. From three to five feet high ; brznches greenish- 
yellow, with black dots; the anthers are purple, 
"changing to yellow when burst; sales white with 
. &redtip, which gives the catkins a very pleasing ap- 
` pearance. In this and the following species I have not 
been able to ascertain whether the venatio is revo- 
lute; but their natural affinity to the preceding ones 
strongly indicates that they are so.
