and Komarov, l. c., although I have some doubt if all these specimens belong to 
the typical form. 
There are two other varieties: 
Salix viminalis, var. Gmelinii Andersson in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. pt. 
2, 266 (1868), sensu Seemen in Ascherson & Graebner, Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. IV. 
174 (1908). 
Salix Gmelini Pallas, Fl. Ross. I. 2, 77 (1788), — Ledebour, Fl. Ross. TII. 606 
(pro parte) (1850). — Syreishtschikof, Pa. Mocx. Tyo. II. 33, fig. (1907).

This seems the S. viminalis of most parts of Russia and western Siberia, but is 
apparently wanting in eastern Siberia. 
Salix viminalis, var. yezoensis Schneider, n. var. 
A typo recedit ovariis sessilibus stigmatibus brevibus angustis stylo longo multo 
brevioribus coronatis.

May 26 and Oct. 15, 1890, Y. Tokubuchi (sterile); same place, April 17, 1891, F. 
Tokubuchi (No. 17, type; 9); same place, April 17, 1893, Y. Tokubuchi (9); 
same place, April 29, 1906, K. Kondo (#); same place, “ secus aquas," June 14, 
1908, U. Faurie (No. 255; with fruits); same place, April 28 and May 5, 1913 (ex 
Herb. Sakurai ; #7 and sterile). Hondo: prov. Rikuchu, Mt. Iwate, May 5, 
1911 (co-type, c", ex Herb. Sakurai); prov. Musashi, Kichijoji, April 12, 1914, E. 
H. Wilson (No. 6419; small bushy tree, branches erect spreading; J’). . 
See von Seemen, 1. c. (1903). The short stigmas seem to be the only real difference 
compared with certain forms of var. typica. Sometimes var. yezoensis may be 
cult to distinguish from forms of S. opaca Andersson (see p. 159), and it needs further 
investigation to decide whether certain forms are to be regarded as hybrids or not.

All these specimens have short-stalked ovaries, the pedicel being shorter than 
the gland, and styles about as long as the ovaries with comparatively short stigmas 
34 the length of the style. The? catkins appear with the young leaves, which x 
silky beneath but soon become glabrous and pale green, not glaucous. The ol 
leaves of Faurie’s No. 276 are up to 17 cm. long and 3.5 em. broad, acute at the 
base, and coarsely crenate with veins prominent beneath.
