Salix spec. 



Shensi: Tai pei shan, W. Purdom, no. 979, 1910. 



Honan: Hwei hsien, Shansi border, J. Hers, no. 705, June 19, 1919. 



In its leaves and the slender short-peduncled fruiting catkins with sessile 

 fruits, Purdom's specimen very much resembles S. rhoophila Schneid. 

 and S. polyclona Schneid. from Hupeh, but the capsules are pubescent, 

 the style is short as in S. polyclona. Hers' specimen which is sterile differs 

 only slightly in its leaves. 



Another Salix spec, possibly a new species from the Wu tai shan, Shansi, 

 is mentioned by Limpricht (Bot. Reis. Hochgeb. China Ost-Tib. 354 [1922]).

The enumeration of this species by Hers (1. c.) among the Honan plants 

 is probably a mistake and refers to his no. 1018 from Kiangsu.
