SALICACEAE. — SALIX te. 
In the large leaves, the long aments on long leafy peduncles and in the distinct 
deeply cleft styles this species resembles some forms of sect. Psilostigmatae, 
but it differs from them in the reticulation of both the surfaces of the leaves. As 
long as the # plant is unknown, it seems difficult to determine the systematic 
= of S. allochroa. In S. moupinensis Franchet we find similar glands on the 
petioles. 
The specific name is derived from dA\éypoos, strange-looking.

Western Hupeh: Patung Hsien, alt. 1300-2000 m., side of 
streams, May 1907 (No. 2112, type; bush 0.9-1.2 m. tall; 9). 
There are only flowering branchlets without leaves. The catkins look very 
much like those of S. Wallichiana Andersson with which they were partly mixed, 
but the flowers are totally different and resemble those of S. japonica Thunberg, 
Which, however, has a different short gland and does not occur in China. The 
. flowers also are not unlike those of S. Fargesii Franchet, which is a Hupeh plant 
but differs considerably in its glabrous branchlets and in the large leaves at the 
base of the catkins. 
The specific name is derived from roos, useless.
