Frutices alti v. minores, breviter ramosi. Folia pleraque ovato-lanceolata usque 
obovata, saepissime glabra, interdum pubescentia, subtus viridia v. pallida, margine 
remote inflexo-serrata, marcescentia saepe nigrescentia. Amenta ovali-cylindrica, 
subsessilia v. breviter pedunculata; ovaria pleraque pilosa, pedicellata; glandula 
semper una ventralis. 
This section ! seems to include rather different forms. Most of the species of 
northeastern Asia are only imperfectly known, and I have not been able to see much 
material. I am following Andersson and von Seemen, but I cannot agree with 
them in their systematic arrangement. The forms of this and the following section 
specially need careful study. :

1 According to Ledebour (Fl. Ross. III. 609 [1850], S. nigricans Smith (in 
Trans. Linn. Soc. V1. 120 [1802]), was found in Kamtchatka (by Chamisso and by 
Beechey ex Hooker & Arnott). I do not find any mention of S. nigricans in Hooker 
& Amott, Bot. Voy. Beechey. According to Siuzev (in Trav. Mus. Bot. Acad. 
Sci. St. Pétersbourg, IX. [Contr. Fl. Mansh.] [1912]) ex Toepffer, Salicol. Mitt. 
No. 5, 248 (1912), S. nigricans has been recently found in Mandshuria. 1 only 
mention this faet with the remark that according to the Vienna rules the oldest 
name for this species apparently is S. myrsinifolia Salisbury, Prodr. 394 (1796), 
ounded on S. myrsinites Hoffmann, Hist. Salic. I. 71, t. 17-19 and 24, fig. 2 (non 
Linnaeus) (1787). The type of S. nigricans Smith is S. phylicifolia, var. 8 Linnaeus, 
Spec. 1016 (1753). For further synonyms and literature see von Seemen in Ascher- 
son & Graebner, Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. IV. 132 (1909). i 
According to the Vienna rules there is no reason why this name should be 
changed. It is founded on “ Salix foliis serratis glabris lanceolatis, crenis undulatis ' 
in Fl. Lappon. 283, No. 351 (misprint 358 in Spec.), t. 8, fig. d (1737). This 
is Linnaeus’ type according to Andersson, Salic. Lappon. 42 (1845), Wimmer, Salic. 
Europ. 79 (1866), Enander, Salic. Linn. Herb. 96 (1907) and other authors. I be- 
ve Toepfier, Salicet. Exsiccat. No. 31, made a mistake in saying that 
No. 351 of the Flora Lapponica represents SS. nigricans Smith and that No. 350 
(Salix Phylicifolia, var. 8 Linné, Spec. Pl. 1018 [1753]) is S. bicolor Ehrhart. 
According to Smith the type of S. nigricans is “ S. phylicifolia B Linn. Sp. Pl. 1442, 
Fl. Lapp. ed. 2, 291, t. 8, f. c. n. 350.” See S. myrsinifolia Salisbury above.
