SALICACEAE. — SALIX 127 
Herder, 1. c. 417, cites a Salix submyrtilloides Andersson, which seems to be a 
herbarium name, and according to Trautvetter is the same as S. chlorostachya 
Turczaninow.

NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Transbaikalia: on the river Selenga near 
Verchne Udinsk, 1832, N. Turczaninow (ex Andersson). 
This is a doubtful species. The hairy ovary has a pedicel which is 3 or 4 times 
longer than the gland. The style is usually bifid.

‘in monte Hak’san, in fruticetis humidis,” J. Rein (Savatier, Nos. 2923, 2924; 
types, ex Franchet & Savatier). : 
The fruits of typical S. Reinii are mostly somewhat hairy, at least on the pedicels, 
but are sometimes wholly glabrous. The c^ catkins are often rather small; the 
bracts are oblong, hairy or nearly glabrous. The glands of both the sexes are 
rather long compared with those of S. vulpina Andersson or forms of S. japonica 
Thunberg. The pedicel of the ovary is about as long as the gland or up to twice 
its length in the fruit. The pubescence of the bracts may sometimes contain some 
brownish hairs like those of S. vulpina Andersson, which differs in its short more 
orbicular-ovate bracts, shorter styles and short glands. There are certainly hy- 
brids between it and S. vulpina Andersson and also between it and S. japonica, var. 
padifolia Seemen (and var. Oldhamiana Franchet & Savatier?). I suppose that S. 
Reinii would be better referred to sect. Hastatae. 
It seems to be a variable species the forms of which need a careful study. Von 
Seemen (Salic. Jap. 42 [1903]) described 4 different forms, the types of which I have 
not seen, namely: : 
f. typica Seemen: folia obovata, apice brevi-acuta, saepe plicata, subtus cinereo- 
glauca (type collected by J. Rein). 
f. nikkoensis Seemen: reptans; folia magna, ad 6.5 em. longa, 3.5 cm. lata, 
oblonga: Nikko, on moist ground, M. Shirai (No. 20; ex von Seemen). 
f. riishiriensis Seemen: folia oblonga usque lanceolata, ad 4.5 em. longa, 2 cm. 
ta, in apicem acutam attenuata, subtus paullo pallidiora, nervatura utrinque 
distinctius prominula: Riishiri, U. Faurie (No. 3711; ex Seemen).
