NOTES ON OHIO SALIX. 



BY A. D. SELBY. 



The working up of the Floras of the Sub station 

 and Station F'arms, including the Flora of Wayne 

 County in which the Experiment Station is situated, 

 has brought us in contact ^vith a rich development of 

 willow species. The collections have been made by the 

 writer, aided by Mr. J. W. T. Duvel, formerly Assistant 

 Botanist. The writer has further gathered specimens 

 of Salix from several other localities in the state. 



In Wayne County we find a diversity of willow 

 forms including those of bogs and stream banks. 

 Upon the Sub station at Strongsville, Cuyahoga 

 County, the willows are not abundant. At Neapolis, 

 Fulton County, on the other hand the willows are 

 numerous. This farm is situated on the old lake or 

 shore (beach) sands of that "Oak-openings" region, the 

 soils are very sandy. These notes, incomplete as they 

 of course are, may be of some value to those who work 

 upon Salix. The material has been for the most part 

 examined and determined by Carleton R. Ball formerly 

 of Ames, Iowa, but now of the Dwision of Agros- 

 tology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. I would ca- 

 press my obligations to him. 



The following are some of the species collected, 

 with localities : 



Salix nigra Marsh. 



Common, Wooster, Strongsville; Chillicothe; 



Akron; Georgesville, Franklin County. 

 Salix nigra falcata (Marsh) Torr., Wooster, 

 Salix amygdaloides Anders. 



Catawba Is., Ottawa County; Georgesville, 



Franklin County ; Akron.
