Drege's specimen from the banks of the Groen River, Little Namaqualand, 

 labelled at Kew '' Salix an ^gyptiacay L. ? " is very probably the form of the 

 variety gariepina distinguished by Andersson (Vet.-Akad. Handl. Stockh. vi. 

 (1867) no. 1, 14) as axillaris, in which the catkins are in the axils of persistent 

 leaves. In the material at Kew the catkins are very jonn^. Andersaon's fonn 

 pahcrula (I.e.) of the same variety may be represented by Drege's specimen d 

 from Camdcboo, Aberdeen Division. I have seen only a sterile shoot, the leaves 

 of which arc markedly different from those of any form of S, capensis.
