SALICACEAE. — SALIX 167 
in the herbarium of the Arnold Arboretum agree well with the author’s description, 
except that the bracts are shorter and a little more acute, and the pedicels twice as 
long as the gland. The following branchlets are glabrous, and the long stigmas are a 
little longer than the style. On Maximowicz’s No. 6 in the Gray Herbarium the g 
flowers agree with von Seemen's figure, the branchlets being covered with the rem- 
nants of a tomentum near their apex. The 9 flowers, however, are very different 
and almost like those of S. gracilistyla Miquel; the bracts are more obtuse, the ovaries 
short-stalked and the branchlets almost tomentose. U. Faurie's No. 806 I have 
not seen; it was collected at Hirosaki, where Faurie found also several different forms 
(see S. hondoensis Koidzumi, p. 110). The specimens from Ishitzu and prov. Tosa 
are doubtfully referred to our species. Certainly S. lepidostachys and its relatives 
need further observation. It is almost impossible to interpret correctly flowering 
branchlets of these forms without having seen mature leaves from the same plant.

eaves are mostly alternate with distinct petioles, and are glabrous even when 
young. There are also the following varieties:
