JAPAN. Hondo: “ad Simoda," S. W. Williams & J. Morrow (9 type ex 
Andersson); prov. Echigo, Mt. Miyokozan, July 17, 1897 (No. 114, ex Herb. 
Tokyo; with fruits). Hokkaido: prov. Oshima, Hakodate, 1890, K. Miyabe (ex 
Seemen); see S. vulpina, var. discolor on p. 131, : 
Unfortunately there are no types of Andersson's Willows collected by Williams 
& Morrow in the Gray Herbarium. Seemen has seen the type of S. padifolia 
Andersson from the Riks Herbarium at Stockholm. Most of the specimens I 
have seen which are referred to S. padifolia by Japanese botanists seem to belong 
to S. vulpina, var. discolor Seemen or to S. kakista Schneider. Even No. 114 from 
Echigo mentioned above may not represent the true var. padifolia even if it 
Tepresents a variety of S. japonica Thunberg. There is, however, a Japanese 
Specimen at the Arboretum from the Herb. Yokohama Nursery Company, April 
1903, without locality, consisting of c^ flowers and also old leaves which may be 
the # S. padifolia Andersson, as the catkins and flowers resemble those of typical 
S. japonica Thunberg. It may be described as follows: : 4 
Ramuli foliiferi glabri v. tantum juxta gemmas puberuli, flavo-cinereo-brunnei. 
Folia late ovato-lanceolata v. paulo obovato-lanceolata, basi rotunda, interdum 
subito brevissime in petiolum producta, apice satis subito breviter acuminata, 
supra ut videtur intense viridia, subtus glauca, utrinque glabra, costa nervisque 
prominulis graciliter reticulata, nervis sub 80? a costa divergentibus 1-2 pro 1 cm., 
margine satis regulariter et distanter glanduloso-serrata (dentibus circiter 3 pro 
1 cm.), 7-10 em. longa, 2.24 cm. lata; petioli glabri, tantum juxta gemmae superne 
pilosi, 8-10 mm. longi; stipulae parvae, anguste lanceolatae, circiter 2-3 mm. 
longae, integrae v. sparse glanduloso-denticulatae; ramuli floriferi glabri foliiferis 
simillima. Amenta precocia, breviter pedunculata, foliolis parvis lanceolatis sub- 
tus sericeis 2-3 suffulta, gracilia, anguste cylindrica, usque 5 cm. longa (haud 
perfecte evoluta), vix 6-7 mm. crassa, subdensiflora, rhachi subvillosa; flores c 
diandri filamentis glabris ima basi coalitis bracteis 2-24-plo longioribus, antheris 
Parvis flavis ovalibus; glandula una ventralis, satis crassa, ovato-rectangularis, 
apice trmneato-obtusa, bracteis oblongis obtusis viridi-brunneis fere tantum versus 
basim albo-sericeo-villosulis 2-3-plo brevior. : 
Certainly S. japonica, var. padifolia Seemen needs further observation. The
