There is a Chinese 9 specimen collected by Wilson in Chili, near Tientsin, April 
18, 1909, which has very yellow glabrous branchlets with precocious aments the 
flowers of which much resemble those of S. Miyabeana, but it may be S. purpurea 
Linnaeus with yellowish bark. For further information, see under S. Pierotti 
Miquel and in the keys (p. 79 and p. 90). z 
There seems to be a variety of this species with tomentose branchlets, judging 
by a o specimen collected by Mochizuki, 1904, at Nikko (in collect. Jack) and 
a sterile specimen collected by C. S. Sargent, Oct. 1, 1892, at Aomori, banks of river, 
tree, 10 m. tall. The catkins resemble those of S. lepidostachys Seemen, being 
about 5 cm. long and 12 mm. thick.

Léveillé also mentions Faurie’s No. 262 from the same locality, but the speci- 
men of this number which I have seen belongs to another species. There is No. 
267, named S. Miyabeana Seem.? which is not different from 266 or 268; it con- 
sists of a fruiting branchlet and a sterile one, the long lanceolate leaves of which 
are up to 10 em. long and 1.8 em. broad and hairy beneath while young. They 
have linear-lanceolate dentate stipules 24 as long as the petioles, which are about 
1 cm. in length. The leaves closely resemble those of S. Miyabeana Seemen, but are 
apparently greenish beneath and not unlike those of S. sachalinensis, var. Pilgeriana 
Schneider, which, however, are more entire. The types of S. sapporoensis have ses- 
sile or subsessile ovaries with very short styles, resembling those of S. purpurea 
Linnaeus. Faurie's No. 257 from the same place and date is a little different; it 
is named S. daphnoides. In this specimen even the young very serrate leaves are 
glabrous, the stipules are short, ovate and dentate, the fruits are nearly glabrous 
with a distinet pedicel. Without fully grown leaves and young flowers it seems 
impossible to decide whether S. sapporoensis represents a new species or may be of 
hybrid origin. In the neighborhood of Sapporo there are many different species 
of Saliz, wild and cultivated, and hybrids of different origin may occur there.
