The history of this species of which its first describer Nuttall said that 

 '* no Willow of the American continent presents so remarkable and splendid 

 an appearance " has been already discussed at a considerable length by 

 Ball (1899). He explained the reason why the tyj)ical form has been so 

 often misunderstood, and so many varieties have been described which in 

 fact represent nothing but the type. According to Ball (1899) Andersson's 

 S. Fendleriana is a synonym of S. lasiandra caudata, and the name has to be 

 applied to this variety if we take it for a s]>ecies. But in this respect I differ 

 from Ball for the following reasons. Andersson based his 5. Fendleriana 

 on Fendler's No. 816 which came from New Mexico and was collected 

 *' probably about Santa Fe " (fide Wooton and Standley), and Andersson 

 besides mentions Geyer's No. 287 from the Rocky Mountains. Only the 

 last specimen belongs to var. caudata while No. 816, in my opinion, repre- 

 sents the typical 5. lasiandra or at least a form of it which is difl*erent from 

 var. caudata. Therefore, the name S. Fendleriana cannot be used for that 

 species if we regard var. caudata as specifically distinct. 



To the typical S, lasiandra also belongs Andersson's 5. lucida macro- 

 phylla of which I have seen a photograph and fragments of the type in 

 Herb. K. and a co-type in Herb. G. It was collected by Dr. Lyall in May
