Jefferson, Duval Counties), in Georgia (Charlton and Richmond Counties), 

 South Carolina (Aiken, Charleston and Saluda Counties), in eastern 

 North Carolina (Craven County) and in the southeastern corner of Vir- 

 ginia (Norfolk County at Dismal Swamp) S. longipcs is represented by a 

 somewhat uncertain form which I at present cannot separate from what I 

 call var. venulosa from the west. (See also my remarks under S. Harbi- 

 sonii below); while north of the 36th parallel and in the central stales 



s the place of the typical form. The separation of those 

 three varieties is by no means easy, and it needs well collected material 

 properly to determine each of them.

As may be imagined from the synonymy the history of this variety is a 

 rather complicated one. It was first mentioned by Barratt as follows: 

 " 22. Salix Pitcheriana *Barratt, MSS. Hab. Arkansas. — Dr. Pitcher. 

 Sea Islands of Georgia. This undescribed species is allied to S. nigra. 

 possess specimens which have been obligingly communicated by John 

 Carey, Esq., of New York. This willow is killed by the winters of the 

 Northern States." According to this S. Pitcheriana is a nomen nudum. 

 I have seen co-types in Herb. G. and N., " raised from cutthigs sent from 

 Georgia to Mr. Carey." The name S. marginata Wimmer which is the next 

 oldest one, was founded on a sj^ecimen of Drummond's " ad New Orleans 

 America borealis " in Herb. Vindob. I have not yet seen the type but I 

 have no doubt that Drummond's No. 303, New Orleans 1832, in Herb. N. 

 can be regarded as a co-type. It seems to me to be referable to var. venu- 

 losa, but the ovaries of the New York specimen are partly pilose, and Wim- 

 mer's form needs further observation. Small has used the name S. mar- 

 ginata " Weimcr " for a species which in my opinion partly belongs to S. 

 Harbisonii. When Andersson in 1867 first described his f. venulosa he did
