1924] Extensions of Range and new Variety in Salix 143 
The variety differs from the species in having narrower leaves, 
glabrate or glabrescent on both sides, especially above, and some- 
times glaucescent beneath. 
In his discussion of candida and its variations, Schneider! cites 
specimens of this variety (p. 228) from Newfoundland, Quebec, 
Ontario, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin. To this distribution 
now should be added Connecticut, as stated by Robinson and Fernald, 
and perhaps Indiana. 
The specimens seen by the writer and their locations are listed below. 
Connecticut: Open places in swamp, Salisbury, C. A. Weatherby 
3634, June 6, 1915 (Nat. Herb.); Twin Lakes, Canaan, Chas. A. 
Davis 3 (in part), June 1, 1912 (herb. C. R. B.). Of three full sheets 
of the Davis collection only one bears material of this variety. NEw 
York: 3-6 dm. high, in water, “Fiddlers Glen,” Pecksport, W. R. 
Maxon 6206, June 9, 1916 (herb. C. R. B.). 
The Indiana plant was collected “in a willow bog on the south side 
of Pigeon River, 114 miles east of Mongo, Lagrange Co.,” Chas. C. 
Deam 30458, May 27, 1920. Mr. Deam, the State forester, notes 
concerning this plant “Closely associated with S. bebbiana, S. candida, 
S. petiolaris, and other species of Salix. Only two specimens found. 
In habit and size resembles S. candida and grew with it." The devel- 
oping leaves are linear, strongly involute, and glabrous, even to part 
of those just unfolding. In the numerous aments, the capsules also 
are entirely glabrous and almost all have remained unfertilized. 
This indicates, though it does not prove, a hybrid origin. The styles 
are usually long and slender, and deeply divided. 
SALIX PELLITA ANDERSSON IN MICHIGAN. 
For many years this species was misinterpreted by American 
botanists, as Fernald? so excellently has shown. The only locality 
in the United States mentioned by Fernald was “northern Maine” 
- to “the lower Androscoggin River, Maine." Schneider,’ in discussing 
this species, gives its distribution as follows (p. 83): 
“T have seen forms which I refer to S. pellita from southern Labrador
