104 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Maritime prov.: “ad fl. Polowinnaja, prope 
oppid. Udskoi,” June 7, 1844, A. T. von Middendorff (type, c^, ex Trautvetter & 
Meyer); “ ad sinum Ujakon," August 23, September 1, 1844, A. T. von Middendorff 
(co-type, ex Trautvetter & Meyer; with fruits); near Ajan, H. Tiling (ex Regel & 
Tiling). Amur: Stanowoi Mountains, July 1860, Fr. Schmidt (ex Andersson et 
Wolf). Saghalien: Konuma, moors, not common, August 4, 1914, E. H. Wilson 
(No. 7332; tree 13-17 m. tall, girth 2.1-3 m., bark gray, deeply furrowed, branches 
thick, spreading; sterile); im Thal des Baches von Adugiwo," July 5, 1860 (with 
fruits; ex Schmidt). 
JAPAN. Hokkaido: prov. Oshima, Tokatsi (ex Koidzumi); Hondo: prov. 
Echigo, Simizutoge (ex Koidzumi); prov. Shimotsuke, Nikko (ex Koidzumi). 
According to Shirai's plate this species must be most closely related to S. Urba- 
niana Seemen, which may represent only a variety with sessile hairy ovaries. 
I have not been able yet to compare any type specimens, and the figures of 
Trautvetter & Meyer as well as Wolf’s description are somewhat different 
from these Japanese forms, of which I have not seen the specimens mentioned by 
Koidzumi. The following specimens may represent the true S. cardiophylla or à 
variety of S. Urbaniana Seemen with short-stalked, more or less or wholly glabrous 
ovaries and fruits. 
Hokkaido: prov. Ishikari, Sapporo, “ secus torrentes," June 14, 1908, U. 
Faurie (No. 253); * in arena rivorum Kamikawa," July 1905, U. Faurie (No. 6643); 
without precise locality, August 21, 1905, J. G. Jack; Sapporo, May 20, 1885 
(Agric. College). Hondo: prov. Shimotsuke, Nikko, road to Lake Chuzenji, 
Sept. 3, 1892, C. S. Sargent (tree 6-38 m.). 
This Willow, which in general appearance and size is similar to S. Urbaniana 
Seemen, 1 met with only in Saghalien in the neighborhood of Toyohara. The bark 
on the branches is smooth and pale gray and on the trunk it is gray and deeply 
fissured. E. H. W. 
22. Salix angiolepis Léveillé in Fedde, Rep. Spec. Nov. III. 22 (1906); in Bull. 
Soc. Bot. France, LVI. 297 (1909); Fl. Kouy-Tchéou, 381 (1915). 
CHINA. Kweichau: Pin-fa, 1903, J. Cavalerie (No. 2069, type; d"). 
By the kindness of Mgr. Léveillé, I have received a small branchlet of the type 
of this very interesting species. Unfortunately the material was collected when the 
flowers were very young and not yet fully developed; and it seems best to give 
the following description of what I have seen: z 
Ramuli novelli dense albo-tomentosi, vetustiores subglabri, nigrescentes. Folia 
valde juvenilia supra plus minusve subtus dense albo-sericeo-tomentosa, ut videtur 
ovato-oblonga basi subacuta, apice breviter acuminata, margine integra (v. serraturi 
nondum evolutis), nervis nondum visibilibus, ad 2 em. longa et 0.5-0.8 cm. lata; 
petioli breves, sed distincti, circiter 3 mm. longi, cano-villosi. Amenta c valde 
juvenilia, pedunculos breves foliis 2-3 parvis lanceolatis instructos villosos ter- 
minantia, cylindriea, densiflora, usque 3 em. longa et 0.3-0.5 cm. crassa, rhachi 
tomentosa; flores ut videtur nondum satis evoluti, staminibus 5-6 (-8, ex Léveillé) 
filamentis brevissimis (an basi villosis?), antheris ovalibus flavis (interdum non- 
dum satis evolutis); glandulae 2, ut videtur pseudodiscum lobulatum formantes; 
bracteae late ovatae, apice subtruncatae, interdum denticulatae, in sicco nigres- 
centes, nervatae, concolores, basi utrinque distincte albo-villosae, ceterum sparse 
pilosae (haud glabrae) et ciliatae, stamina circiter duplo superantes. 
As far as I can judge from the young flowers and leaves, this plant apparently 
belongs in the sect. Urbanianae. It certainly is an interesting Willow, but needs 
further investigation. The flora of Kweichau seems to contain a number of 
Spana
