 In dry shady woods : New York to Pensylvania, Tj . 

 April, May. v. v. The native place of this willow 

 is not mentioned by Willdenow ; but a plant in the 

 collection of G. Anderson, Esq. which was found 

 among a promiscuous collection of willows made by 

 me on the Catskill mountains, New York, decides the 

 question. To this gentleman's acute observations 1 am 

 indebted for the present division of Salices " vernatio 

 revoluta," as likewise for the greater part of the pre- 

 sent arrangement of American willows.

In shady dry woods : New 'York to Virginia. Tj . April. 

 v.v. From three to five feet high j branches greenish- 

 yellow, with black dots ; the anthers are purple, 

 changing to yellow when burst ; scales white with 

 a red tip, which gives the catkins a very pleasing ap- 

 pearance. In this and the following species I have not 

 been able to ascertain whether the vernatio is revo- 

 lute ; but their natural affinity to the preceding ones 

 strongly indicates that they are so.
