2148; bush 4.5 m. tall; fruits); Ching-chi Hsien, thickets, alt. 1600- 
2700 m., May 1908 (No. 2128; bush 1.8-3.6 m. tall; 9); west of 
Kuan Hsien, Pan-lan-shan, woodlands, alt. 2700-3100 m., October 
1910 (No. 4353, tree 5-10 m. tall, girth 0.9-1.8 m., sterile; a somewhat 
uncertain form); same locality (No. 4352; bush 2.4-4 m. tall; young 
plants in the Arboretum). Kwei-chou: “ Kouy-yang, mont du Col- 
lége," February and March 1898, E. Bodinier (Nos. 2070, 2102; ex 
Léveillé, sub S. Caprea). Yunnan: * vallée de Kiao-mé-ti, bords du 
torrent," alt. 3000 m., April 1913, E. E. Maire (small tree; type of S. 
Mairei Léveillé); * montagnes à Sen-tchai-tse," alt. 2800 m., April 
1913, E. E. Maire (c). 
Whether the other specimens, cited by Burkill, 1. c., really belong to S. Walli- 
chiana or not, I cannot tell. Henry's No. 5296 (in Herb. Gray) from Hupeh, south 
of Patung, is a c? specimen, the flower of which seems to have only a single stamen 
with a hairy filament. Burkill mentions this number in part under S. longiflora 
Andersson (see p. 121). Henry’s specimen resembles S. gracilistyla Miquel, but the 
gland is short, rectangular or oval, somewhat like that of S. Wallichiana. Andersson 
describes the filaments as hairy, but I have found them always glabrous, as on 
Brandis’ plate (l. c.). The Chinese form seems to agree well with the Indian. I 
have seen the following specimens from India: 
Kashmir: “ reg. temp. alt. 7-8000 ped.," T. Thomson (with fruits); “ West- 
ern Thibet, reg. temp. 6-11000 ped." T. Thomson (with fruits). Kumaon: 
‘Gagar pass, alt. 6000-6500 feet,” Strachey & Winterbottom (No. 3; with fruits; 
No. 5; @ and 9 flowers); “ Kalimat, 6400 feet," Strachey & Winterbottom (No. 
11; 9). Eastern Afghanistan: Kurrum valley, 1879, J. E. T. Aitchison (No. 
389); 9; without locality (No. 4501, Herb. Griffith). Gj 
Andersson distinguished 3 varieties of S. Wallichiana: 1. var. a. grisea, in Svensk. 
Vetensk. Akad. Handl. VI. 80 (Monog. Salic.) (1867); in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. 
pt. 2, 223 (1868), the type of which was collected by Wallich sub No. 3700 in Nepal 
and Kumaon; 2. var. b. julacea, l. c. 81 (1867), 1. c. 224 (1868) (S. julacea Andersson 
in Svensk, Vetensk. Handl. 1850, 476 [1851]; in Jour. Linn. Soc. IV. 50 [1860]), of 
which the type was collected by Jacquemont, “in sylvis excelsis supra Hayderabad, 
alt. 2600-2700 m., May 3, 1831; 3. var. c. sericea, l. c. 81 (1867) et 1. c. 224 (1868), 
collected by Hooker f. & T. Thomson “ad Banahal, reg. temp. 6000-9000 ped. 
I have seen no specimen of this var. All these forms need a careful study. — 
In the type the leaves according to Andersson are “ juniora valde tenuia utrin- 
que pubescentia subtus cano-villosa, adulta glaberrima, nitentia, venis prominulis 
Striata, laete viridia, plana, rigida.” Of the cultivated plants from China in the 
Arboretum there seem to be two forms, one with rather dull green leaves which 
are softly pubescent beneath, and another with more shining leaves, which are — 
nearly or wholly glabrous beneath. IE : 
_ From S. Caprea Linnaeus and S. cinerea Linnaeus S. Wallichiana may be chiefly 
distinguished by its thinner, much less reticulate leaves, which are mostly ovate- 
oblong and more acuminate. The length of the pedicels seems rather variable; 
the style is usually very short.
