Salix speciosa, Hook. & Am. 

 June 14. 



Salix fulcrata, And., var. subglauca, And. (S. phylicoides, And. in part.) 



This is an extremely rare aud interesting species, now thought to be 

 represented I'or the first time in American herbaria. Mr. Bebb writes 

 of it as follows: " It is precisely like Seeman's speciaaen in Herb. Kew. 

 Upon this, almost wholly, Anderson founded his iS. phylicoules (Sal. Bor. 

 A mer.) excepting a variety a^tgnniijolia. Subsequently in his 'Mono 

 graphia Salicum' he transfers what was before clearly the type of his 

 species to 8. fulcrata, and makes the before scarcely noticed var. angunti- 

 folia the all in all of his S. pliyUcoldes. In this change the variety and 

 not the type should liave been eliminated. But here comes in another 

 question. The first publication was in a comparatively obscure paper, 

 tbe latter one is sanctioned in the author's ' Prodromus Monographia,' 

 and is known the world over." The present specimens consist of both 

 male and female aments aud perfect leaves.
