SALICACEAE. — SALIX 137 
NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Maritime Prov.: Plover Bay, 1865-6, W. H. 
Dall (ex Rydberg); Berings Island, 1891, J. M. Macoun (No. 188848, ex Rydberg). 
Also Arctic zone of Russia, Asia, North America and Japan: Kurile Islands (fide 
Koidzumi). 
The type of Pallas’s species was collected by Sujef on the Gulf of Obi near the 
Arctic Ocean. Andersson and other botanists mixed S. arctica with several different 
species which Lundström first distinguished. According to Rydberg the type has 
thick, broad, obovate or obcordate, strongly reticulate, obtuse leaves which are from 
2.5-5 cm. long; the catkins are thick and from 2.5-8 cm. long. It is a shrub. See 
also the following species.

Brown's type came from the Baffin Bay region. I have not seen a Siberian 
specimen. 
This species differs according to Lundström and Rydberg from the true S. 
arctica Pallas in being a prostrate shrub, with thin obovate or elliptic-lanceolate, 
not strongly reticulate, more glabrous and often acutish leaves. The catkins are 
exceedingly large, and the large conical capsules are a little less hairy. The 9 speci- 
mens from Alaska which I have seen, have a very long style, and the c? a large 
ventral and a small dorsal gland.

This plant differs from S. arctica Pallas and S. anglorum Chamisso (according to 
Rydberg) in the smaller and more rounded leaves, from 1 to 3 cm. long, which are 
rather crowded and short-stalked, and in the shorter catkins from 1 to 3 cm. in 
length. The stem is less creeping than in S. arctica and the branches are shorter. As 
* Chamisso also cites some specimens which according to Hooker (Fl. Bor.-Am. 
II. 153 [1839]) belong to S. iem Hooker, 1. c., which is the same as S. phlebophylla 
Andersson, hence Hooker and Andersson add the name S. anglorum Chamisso as a 
Synonym to S. phlebophylla Andersson, and Trautvetter (in Act. Hort. Petrop. VI. 
37 [1879]) accepted Chamisso’s name for Andersson's species. ; : 
* According to Andersson his variety includes the type of Pallas's S. arctica. I 
have not seen Trautvetter's plate.
