CHINA. Chili: Hsiao Wu-tai-shan, alt. 2300 m., August 12, 1913, F. N. 
Meyer (No. 1204; shrub; sterile). 
NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Maritime prov.: Plover Bay, Lat. 64° N, 
1865-6, W. H. Dall (with fruits). Kamtchatka: Petropavlovski, 1853-6, C. 
Wright (with fruits). 
Franchet, 1. c., mentions specimens from Chili collected by David which I have 
not seen and which probably do not belong to our species, and may be the same as 
S. mongolica Siuzev (see p. 178). Burkill cites a specimen of Bretschneider from 
the Po-hua-shan, and the species is also found in Mandshuria and Korea accord- 
ing to Komarov and Nakai. The specimens before me collected by Dall 
Wright differ somewhat from the type. The ovaries are rather short-stalked, and 
the glands are longer than the pedicels. The peduncles of the fruiting aments of 
Dall’s plant are up to 2 cm. long. They may represent S. oblongifolia Trautvetter 
& Meyer, see p. 126. 
All these eastern forms of this section need a very careful study. Meyer's sterile 
specimen agrees rather well with some European forms of this variable species.

1 According to the Vienna rules this name cannot stand. The type of Linnaeus 
S. arbuscula is founded on “ Salix foliis subserratis glabris subdiaphanis subtus 
glaucis, caule suffruticoso” in FI. Suec. 291, No. 798 (1745), var. a, and the type of 
var. a is “Salix foliis serratis glabris verticaliter ovatis" in Fl..Lappon. 284, No. 
352, tab. 8, fig. e (1737). This No. 352 is the same as S. livida Wahlenberg (vide 
Enander, Salic. Linn. Herb. 97 [1907]). Linnaeus’ herbarium specimen may DeloDs 
to S. phylicifolia Linnaeus or to a hybrid of S. nigricans Smith with S. phylicifolia 
(see Enander, 1. ¢.). Linnaeus’ S. arbuscula, var. B, Spec. 1018 (1753) is f 
on “Salix foliis integris glabris ovatis confertis pellucidis” in Fl. Lapp. 287, No- 
356 (1757). This No. 356 represents S. livida Wahlenberg (see Enander, |. ¢-)- 
Only S. arbuscula, var. y represents the true S. arbuscula Auctorum plurim. (6¢ 
Enander, l.c. 149). So far as I can see the oldest name for this form is S. formos? 
Willdenow. Andersson and von Seemen cite a Salix coruscans Jacqum, ^ 
Austr. V. t. 408 (non Willdenow) (1778). But Jacquin describes, 1. c., under E^ 
408 Saliz arbuscula. lt was Willdenow, Spec. IV. 681 (1805), who founded a 9: 
coruscans on S. arbuscula Jacquin. S. formosa Willdenow was published 1796, 
this name is older than S. glaucescens Moench, who merely changed Willd 
name. $.alpina Scopoli, Fl. Carn. ed. 2, 11. 255 (1772) is a mixture of S. 
and S. myrsinites, var. Jacquiniana Koch.
