SALICACEAE. — SALIX 141 
specimen is the type of S. phlebophylla Andersson, f. major. The second form, f. 
media, is based upon “ Cap Mulgrave: Beechey ” and “ Arctic coast: Dr. Richards- 
son.” The third form, f. minor, is described without citing a specimen. In all these 
3 forms the capsules are described as “ glaberrimae,’’ but in 1868 Andersson mixed 
these forms with others saying: *capsulis . . . tenuiter puberulis sessilibus." Ryd- 
berg says: * and the capsule somewhat puberulent when young." He quotes C. 
Wright’s specimen mentioned above. I suppose this specimen is the same as that 
quoted by Herder, 1. c., under S. Uva-ursi Pursh, which is a species of northeastern 
America. I have seen no specimen of Wright which belongs to S. phlebophylla. 
Sect. 19. BERBERIFOLIAE Schneider, n. sect. 
Frutices humiles trunco crasso prostrato saepe radicante, ramulis parvis erectis 
v. procumbentibus. Folia ut in sect. Myrsinites, utrinque viridia et reticulata, 
argute, saepe inaequaliter inciso-serrata v. crenato-serrata. Amenta ramulos folia- 
tos plus minusve longos terminantia, breviter v. longius cylindrica, densiflora, satis 
crassa; flores c? diandri, biglandulosi, glandula dorsali saepe minima, antheris 
initio ut videtur flavis deinde nigrescentibus; flores 9 glandula una ventrali v. 
interdum etiam glandula dorsali minima, ovariis glabris plus minusve pedicellatis, 
stylis brevibus v. mediocribus, stigmatibus bipartitis oblongis. 
This section differs from sect. Myrsinites especially in the biglandular c? flowers, 
from the sect. Herbaceae in its longer many-flowered catkins and more distinct 
yles.

I have not seen a type specimen. According to Trautvetter the var. genuina 
Glehn, 1. c., may be distinguished by “ foliis profunde inciso-serratis, serraturis pa- 
tentissimis, immo deorsum erectis," while the following var. Brayi differs by “ foliis 
minute serratis, serraturis sursum spectantibus." There is a var. eriocarpa Traut- 
vetter (in Act. Hort. Petrop. VI. 35 [1879]) with pubescent ovaries; the type of it 
Was found by Turczaninow “ in alpe Czekondo tractus baicalensis,” together with 
var. genuina. i 
I suppose the following variety is very closely connected with the typical form.

* This species was first figured by Gmelin as Salix pumila foliis dense congestis 
ovalibus cristatis (FL. Sibir. I. 161, t. 35, fig. 3 [1747)), and later by Pallas as Saliz 
ze sessilibus ovatis dentato-serratis venosis nitentibus (Reise, LI. App. 789, t Kk, 
. 7 [1776]).
