SALICACEAE. — SALIX 117 
Folia (tantum juvenilia visa) oblanceolata, basin versus angustata, acuta, apice 
brevius longiusve acutata, minora elliptica, utrinque acuta, supra viridia, tantum 
costa sericea, subtus glauca, initio satis, deinde tantum ad costam albo-sericea, 
nervis angustis parallelis paullo prominulis circiter 3 pro 1 em., margine subintegra 
v. brevissime glanduloso-undulato-denticulata, minora ramulorum floriferorum 1.5— 
3.5 em. longa, 1.8 cm. lata, maxima lanceolata ad 9 cm. longa et supra medium 2.5 
em. lata; petioli subsericei, 5-9 mm. longi. Amenta9 gracillima, curvata, ramulis 
circiter 1 cm. longis folia 3-4 parva normalia gerentibus pedunculata, 5-7 cm. longa, 
circiter 0.5 cm. crassa, rhachi sparse sericea; ovaria glabra, breviter pedicellata, 
pedicellis glandula una oblonga apice saepe erosa ventrali subbrevioribus, stylis 
subaequilongis vix bifidis stigmatibus satis longis bifidis recurvatis coronata; - 
bracteae ovato-oblongae, apice plus minusve truncatae, brunnescentes, tantum ad 
basim pilosae, ovariis subaequilongae. 
INDIA. Sikkim: “reg. temp. alt. 9000 ped.," F. D. Hooker (type, 9; sub 
nomine S. elegans Wall. y, ex Herb. Ind. Or. in Herb. Gray). 
This interesting species differs from all the species of this section in its glabrous 
ovaries. In the long thin aments it resembles S. Daltoniana Andersson, in other re- 
spects somewhat S. longiflora Andersson, from which it differs in its short pedicels 
and long styles. As far as I can judge from the poor specimen before me, it seems 
near S. Daltoniana Andersson, but needs further investigation. i 
The specific name is derived from faôıwós, slender, and oraxvs, spike.

structa, staminibus liberis basi v. ad medium villosis; bracteae obovatae, obtusae, 
V. obovato-spathulatae; ovaria breviter pedicellata v. sessilia, glabra v. pilosa, 
stylis subnullis v. distinctis apice breviter bifidis, stigmatibus bifidis; glandula una,

f I unite the following species in this section on account of the two glands of the 7 
OWers.
