THE SALIX LISTS IN THE 'LONDON CATALOGUE.' 

 By E. F. Linton, M.A. 



The existence of two lists of Salices in the ninth edition of the 

 London. Catalogue may be best explained by quoting Mr. Hanbury's 

 statement in his introductory remarks (March, 1895): — "Owing 

 to the lamented death of Dr. White in December last, he never 

 saw his list in print. All possibility of discussing several important 

 points having passed, I deemed it best to insert Dr. White's list in 

 its entirety, and to ask the Kev. E. F. Linton to supply an alterna- 

 tive list to be printed at the end of the Catalogue.'" The result is 

 two lists, which differ from one another in the order of species and 

 in some few details, but are alike in their abolition of many 

 " species " and most of the varieties which were familiar to the 

 eye in previous editions. 



This paper is written for the purpose of discussing the differ- 

 ences between the two lists, as fairly as may be under the circum- 

 stances, from one point of view. No one regrets more than myself 

 that we cannot now audire alteram partem from one who so 

 thoroughly entered into N. J. Andersson's views of the specific 

 oi'der of the Willows, and made such good use of his opportunities 

 of studying the British species of this genus, as the late Dr. 

 Buchanan White. 



We have been familiarized for many years in this country with 

 the specific order of Andersson, Sir J. D. Hooker having adopted 

 it in the Student's Flora with two or three variations, viz. the sub- 

 ordination of S. cinerea to S. Caprea as a subspecies, and the inser- 

 tion of S. Sadleri Syme as a numbered species after S. Myrsinites, 

 followed by S. Arbuscula, which Andersson places after S. phjlicifolia. 

 Dr. White also took Andersson's order of species in the main, but 

 transposed S. aurita and S. cinerea, and degraded S. nigricans as a 

 variety of S. phyliclfolia ; thus making one species less for Britain
