Seemen in Ascherson & Graebner, Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. IV. 152 (1909). 
Saliz, sect. Vulpinae Seemen, Salic. Jap. 17 (1903). 
Species iis sect. Phylicifoliae saepe valde similes, sed praecipue differentes: 
folis saepe lanceolatis, amentis interdum rufescenti-pilosis, ovariis fere semper 
glabris.! 
I follow Koidzumi in uniting sect. Vulpinae (S. vulpina) again with sect. Has- 
tatae, and I believe that this section is most closely related to sect. Phylicifoliae. 
Both groups, as now limited, seem to be more artificial than natural. It is an im- 
teresting fact that apparently there is no species of these groups in the interior of 
China.

* Andersson also places in this section S. rhamnifolia Pallas (Fl. Ross. I. pt. 2,84 
[1788]) which was founded by Pallas upon Gmelin’s No. 13 in his Fl. Sibir. 1. 159, 
t. 35, fig. I (1747), and which came from western Siberia, river . Lede- 
bour (Fl. Ross. IlI. pt. 2, 612 (1850]) mixed this species with S. rhamnifolia Hooker 
& Arnott, see S. fuscescens Anderson, p. 153. Andersson (in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. 
Handl. VI. 169, t. 9, fig. 100 [Monog. Salic.] (1867]) describes one of Ledebour's 
plants “ex Sibiria baicalensi." This species is a very doubtful plant, and I m 
not know to which form really belong C. Wrigh?'s specimens from Arakamtchat- 
chene Island, cited by Herder.(in Act. Hort. Petrop. XI. 1891]) under S. 
rhamnifolia Pallas. d i: el cue om. »
