cites '' Wright n. 1879." This number, in all probability, did not come 

 from New Mexico but from the banks of the Rio Grande in Texas or further 

 north K I have seen two sheets of this numl)er (in Herb. G. and N.) and 

 there can be no doubt that f . venulosa Andersson has nothing to do with S. 

 nigra. It represents, in my opinion, a distinct variety of S. hmgipes which 

 has been named S, podocarpa by Engelmann in Herb. G. (on a sheet of 

 Lindheimer, from the Pedernales River, Texas, 1847). This name has 

 never been rightly published and was only mentioned by Andersson (18G7). 

 I have seen good material of var. venulosa from the following counties of 

 southern and central Texas: Uvalde, Bandera, Kerr, Gillespie, Kendell, 

 Blanco, Hood, Johnson, and as I said before, I refer to this variety forms 

 from the southeast as indicated under S. longipes on p. 20. If Drummond's 

 S. marginata from New Orleans in Louisiana should really belong to var, 

 vemdosay this station would form a connecting link between the otherwise 

 rather widely separated ranges. The var. venulosa should be looked for 

 along the coast from eastern Texas to western Florida. I am still very 

 badly acquainted with the Salix flora of this region because there is but 

 little material at my disposal, and I can get no reliable information from 

 existing Floras. 



There are Texan specimens before me which much resemble var. Wardliy 

 but if we take the shai>e of the stij)u]es as a character of decisive taxonomic 

 value, we have to refer all the material from Texas to var. venulosa wliich 

 has the i)oinled stipules of typical longipes. See also my remarks under the 

 following variety.

 (in. Am. Jour. Sei. ser. 3, xxxi. 13 [188G] in Sargent, Sci. Papers Gray, n, 4G9 [1881)]). Wriglit 

 went in the spring of 18j1, after having' remained more than a year in central Texas, with Col. 

 Graham's party to the border between IMexico and the United States. **IIe returned with 

 him without reaching farther westward than about the middle of what is now the territory of 

 Arizona.*' The specimens were probably collected in June in the southern parts of central 

 Texas where var. venulosa seems to be verv abundant.
