Willows of California, by M. S. Bebb. — These are advance pages 

 from the "Botany of California," Vol. II. That Mr. Bebb is the American 

 authority on Willows every botanists knows, and hence wher^ a contribution 

 to American Botany like the present is made it becomes of great importance. 

 This is all the more interesting as the genus Salix is a very difficult one and 

 consequently about the last approached by the average botanist. It seem^ 

 that there are in the world about i6o species of Salix, of which number 

 60 are North American. 19 being found in CaKfornaia. Mr. Bebb de_ 

 scribes 6 new species and 13 new varieties. The species are named in honor 

 of the State and the workers there. They are ^. Lemmo7ii, named in honor 

 of one whose name bids fair to become attached to every other genus in 

 his state; S. Austince in honor of a lady whose unt"ring zeal is neatly 

 complimented in this connection; S. Breweri, a very interesting "discovery 

 of a genuine American representative of the Vimijiales; S. Califotnica; S. 

 Monica, named for the Mono Pass, and belonging to the Myi *osalix section, 

 and ^. laevigata. When Mr. Bebb gives us his final revision of North 

 American Willows we will be satisfied, and not till then.
