SALICACEAE. — SALIX 97 
sperma Roxburgh as understood by me, as that species may be planted through- 
out the tropical regions of that part of the world. Unfortunately I have not seen 
any of the above-mentioned specimens. The c plant is still unknown.

Salix tetrasperma Beddome, Fl. Sylv. S. Ind. IL. 302, t. 302 (exclud. fig. 11-

INDIA. Pondicherry: near Karikal, 1836, G. S. Perrotet (type, ex An- 
dersson); Mysore: Shevary Hills (ex Wight); Madras Presidency: Madras, 
near Salem (ex Wight; probably the same as Wallich, Cat. No. 3702, ex Herb. 
Wight, of which I have seen a photograph); Assam: Khasi, “ reg. trop. 2-4000 
. Ped," J. D. Hooker& T. Thomson (c? and 9 specimens ex Herb. Ind. Or., distributed 
88 S. tetrasperma). 
The plant from Khasia which I take for this species agrees very well with Wight's 
description and plate. The ovaries are hairy and the pedicels shorter than the 
bracts. There are only 3 or 4 stamens in the c? flowers, while Wight’s plate shows 
5 stamens and Andersson says: “ stamina octo." 
There may occur in India different species of Saliz of this section with pubescent 
ovaries, and a critical study could only be made with a large amount of material. 
The tree Willows in the tropical and subtropical parts of India and eastern Asia 
Seem to be widely spread by planting, and it is therefore difficult to fix the limits 
of their geographical distribution. 
T. Salix tonkinensis Seemen, in Bot. Jahrb. XXI. Beibl. LIII. 53 (1896). 
INDO-CHINA. Tongking: near Tu Fap, in swamps, December 1887, A. 
Balansa (No. 3787; tree 2-5 m. tall, ex von Seemen); Notre Dame (Black River), 
behind the rock, A. Balansa (No. 3788, ex von Seemen). ; : 
In the grayish brown pubescence of the twigs and leaves this species seems 
to resemble S. Kusanoi Schneider, but the capsules are loosely hairy and there 
18 only one gland as in S. tetrasperma Roxburgh. For other characters see the keys 
9n p. 74 and p. 86.
