WILLOWS OF THE EAST INDIES. 73 
cuspidata (apiculata, mihi), and Japonica (doubtful), of Don's Prodromus 
Flore Napalensis; and S. nobilis and lenta (doubtful), of Fries's Novi- 
tiarum Flore Suecicee Mantissa prima. In Wallich's Lithographie 
List of the East India Company's Herbarium the following Willows 
are entered: n. 3697, S. Lindleyana, Wall.; n. 3698, obovata, Wali. 
(labellaris, mihi); n. 3699, elegans, Wall. (denticulata? himalensis, 
mihi); n. 3700, grisea, Wall. (Wallichiana, mihi); n. 3701, hamounen- 
sis, Lindl. (denticulata, mihi); n. 3702, ichnostachya, Lindl. ; n. 3703, 
cuspidata, Don (apiculata, mihi) ; n. 8104, eriostachya, Wall. ; n. 3705, 
pyrina, Wall.; n. 3706, glabrescens, Lindl. (*macrocarpa, mihi); n. 
3707, tetrasperma, Roxb.; n. 3708, urophylla, Lindl.; and n. 3709, 
babylonica, Linn. Among additions in the catalogue are n. 9102, S. 
calophylla, Wall.; n. 9103, densa, Wall., and three unnamed numbers 
(9104, 5, and 6), all of which are doubtful to me, as the specimens 
have no fructification. When I was in London Mr. Kippist gave me 
opportunities to study the above Willows, in the East India Company's 
Herbarium presented to the Linnean Society. Specimens of many of - 
them are also preserved in the Banksian Herbarium; so that my de- 
scriptions are founded often on the examination of numerous specimens. 
Through the great liberality of Dr. Klotzsch, I received from Prince 
Waldemar of Prussia’s herbarium, three species, provisionally deter- 
mined by the Doctor, which had been gathered in the Himalayas by 
the late Dr. Hoffmeister; namely, S. himalensis (denticulata, *hima-, 
lensis, mihi), rotundifolia, Royle (flabeliaris, mihi), and Roylei (hastata, 
Linn.). But it was at Paris where I obtained the greatest accession of 
of novelties from the rich collections of Perrottet, and especially of V. 
Jacquemont, made during his extensive travels in the East Indies, in 
1829-31. Some of these had already been determined by Jaequemont 
in his travelling notes preserved in the library; but most of his names, 
as also the Wallichian, had been applied already to other well-known 
species, and required to have others substituted. Finally, through 
Prof. Liebmann's great kindness, I have had an opportunity to look 
over Horneman's exotie Willows, and thereby to become better in- 
structed respecting some doubtful forms. After having Dus dace 
acquainted, in the three richesí museums, with Wallich's, Lindley » 
Jacquemont’s and Klotzsch’s opinions respecting the South-Asiatic spe- 
cies of the genus, and having reduced their determination to uniformity 
among themselves and with those before known, I am now able to offer
