NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Transbaikalia to Kamtchatka and Korea. 
Of this species I have only seen a specimen collected by V. Komarov, prov. Amur, 
fluvium Sutár, June 13, 1895, with c^ flowers and with fruits). The plant which 
Maximowiez (in Mém. Sav. Étr. Acad. Sci. St. Pétersbourg, IX. 244 [Prim. Fl. 
Amur.] [1859]) collected and distributed under the name S. myrtilloides, var. 
nmarkica Trautvetter & Meyer (in Middendorff, Reise Sibir. I. pt. 2, Bot. abt. 1, 
80 [F1. Ochot.] [1847]), is mentioned by Andersson (in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. Handl. 
VI. 98 [1867]) under S. rugulosa, subspec. finmarkica. According to Andersson and 
von Seemen, I. c. 226 (1909), S. rugulosa is a hybrid between S. aurita Linnaeus and 
S. myrtilloides Linnaeus, the oldest name of which would be S. onusta Besser (Enum. 
Pl. Volhyn. 78 [1821]). See also the keys on p. 83 and p. 85.

I know this species only from Andersson’s description and from Hooker & 
Armott’s plate. Its taxonomic position seems rather uncertain. Very doubtful are 
the forms S. fuscescens, 8? minor Andersson, l. c. 230 (1868) (S. myrtilloides f. 1 et 2, 
Chamisso in Linnaea, V1. 539 [1831]), and S. fuscescens, var. dasycarpa Trautvetter 
(ex Herder in Act. Hort. Petrop. XI. 409 [1891]), types: “ Providenzbucht,” end of 
July 1881, Dobrotworsky, and “ Beringsinsel,” 1879, Dybowsky.

Of this section there seems to be in eastern Asia only the following species." 
Herder, in Acta Hort, P. etrop. XI. 410 (1891) mentions sterile specimens of Salix 
tes Aiton (Hort. Kew. III. 393 [1789]) from Kamtchatka, Kastalsky (in Herb. 
etrop.). The identification of this material may be wrong.
