SALICACEAE. — SALIX 111 
from S. hondoensis Koidzumi in the larger 9 catkins, the shorter style and the 
Shorter, truncate bracts, but, as I have said before, it is very doubtful whether 
these three species are specifically distinct or mere varieties of one species. 
This Willow is common round Sapporo and in the park there are some notable 
trees. It is a tree from 20-25 m. tall with a trunk from 4 to 5 m. in girth, gray 
shallowly fissured bark, large ascending-spreading and spreading branches and 
gray-green leaves. The habit is singularly like that of the English Oak. 
Pictures of this tree will be found under Nos. x452 and x453 of the collection of 
my Japanese photographs. E. H. W.

This species, of which I have not seen the type, is distinguished by its acute 
bracts, its nearly sessile stigmas and by the glabrous upper part of the ovaries. A 
specimen, collected by U. Faurie, in Hokkaido, Otara, culta, June 12, 1908 (No. 
259), agrees well with von Seemen’s description and figures, but the ovaries are 
wholly glabrous. As von Seemen points out, the species looks very much like 
8. babylonica Linnaeus. I am inclined to believe that it may have a parentage 
similar to that of S. elegantissima, Koch, p. 109. The specimen from Korea may 
belong to S. koreensis Andersson.

I have not seen Andersson's type, buf all of Faurie's specimens agree well with 
dersson's and Koidzumi's descriptions. There are really no differences at all 
ween these forms described by Léveillé as different species. The pubescence 
of the ovaries is variable, as is the shape of the gland and the stigmas and the 
length of the style and of the 9 catkins. At the time of flowering the? catkins 
are short (1 cm.) and oval; the fruiting aments are up to 2.5 cm. long and 0.9 
cm. broad. The catkins are not really sessile, although they are precocious, often 
losing early the small leaves of the short peduncle. The œ catkins are from
