I909. No. 8. VASCULAR PLANTS COLLECTED IN ARCTIC NORTH AMERICA. 35 
King Point. Flowering female twigs were collected July 4th, 1906. 
The plant which I take as a variety of S. glauca L., has been de- 
scribed and figured by CoviLe (lI. c.); he considers it as the true 
S. glauca L., but from the European S. glauca it differs a. o. in its nearly 
uncleft style and uncleft inner nectaries (cfr. S. J. ENANDER, Studies öfver 
Salices i Linnés Herbarium, Inbjud. t. Teolog. Dokt. Promot., Upsala 1907, 
pp. 113—115), otherwise its habit comes near to it; another distinctive 
character is that the leaves are glabrous on the upper surface and more 
adpressed-hairy below. It agrees well with the description given by P. A. 
RYDBERG (l. ec.) of S. Seemanii nov. sp. from Dawson, Alaska. CoVILLE 
takes this as an unimportant form of S. g/auca, but I think it may be of 
some systematic value, if not a separate species as proposed by RYDBERG.

King Point. With young catkins (July 4th) and nearly ripe 
catkins (July 7th, 1906). 
CovILLE (l. c) has given an exhaustive description and excellent 
drawings of this bushy or prostrate willow, which leave no doubt as to 
the indentification of my material. The shape of the leaves especially 
is characteristic: »diamond-shapede as COVILLE says. 
In the Copenhagen herbarium there is just the same plant taken by 
F. KJELLMAN during the Vega Expedition at Pitlekaj (Long. W. 173° 24’) 
on the north coast of Chuckhes Land, and in the Riksmuseum of Stock- 
holm another specimen from Port Clarence; both specimens have been 
named by KJELLMAN: S. boganidensis TRAUTV., var. latifolia TRAUTY. 
KJELLMAN (Vega Exped. vetensk. Arbeten, II, 1883, p. 51) says about 
this plant: »planta nostra in tota regione freti Beringii e. gr. in terra 
Tschuktschorum, insula St. Laurentii et ad Port Clarence Amer. arcticæ 
occid. sat frequens formam Trautvetterianam supra allatam certe sistit«. 
From that we may perhaps be permitted to draw the conclusion that 
S. boganidensis, var. latifolia TRAUTVETTER (Acta Horti Petropol., vol. VI, 
1879, p- 34) is merely a synonym of S. pulchra CHAM.
