1914] Fernald,— Some Willows of boreal America 175 
A very common riparian species in the calcareous districts from 
Aroostook County, Maine, and adjacent Quebec to Newfoundland, 
which has been mistaken at various times and in various states of 
development for S. glaucophylla Bebb and S. Barclayi Anderss. It is 
the northeastern shrub which was included in the 7th edition of Gray's 
Manual under S. glaucophylla. That species, which is apparently 
confined to the sands of the Great Lakes, is quite as variable as 5. 
glaucophylloides in its foliage, but in S. glaucophylla this is very much 
heavier or thicker than in the more eastern shrub. In S. glaucophylla, 
furthermore, the fruiting aments are much larger, 5.5-8 cm. long, 1.8- 
2.5 cm. thick; the pubescence of the peduncle and rhachis longer and 
denser; the scales more copiously long-villous; the capsules longer, 
8-10 mm. long, and obliquely rounded, not cordate, at base; and the 
pedicels distinctly exceeding the scales and many times longer than the 
nectaries. 
Salix Barclayi, a species of extreme northwestern America, for 
which foliage-specimens of S. glaucophylloides have been mistaken, 
differs in its less toothed leaves, much longer scales (with the silky 
beard nearly equaling the capsules), the shorter pedicels, and the 
longer stigmas. The Newfoundland S. latiuscula Anderss., which has 
also been confused with S. Barclagyi, has densely sericeous-tomentose 
capsules and remarkably long reflexed stigmas, much longer than in 
any other species known to the writer, and its foliage is not conspic- 
uously glaucous beneath.
