SALICACEAE. — SALIX 99 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Korea : Chung-ehan, June 1887, 0. Warburg (No. 

 6522; ex von Seemen); " Kyoeng-san, circa Tai-ku, Na-Tong, Chang-chyoeng," 

 T. Uchiyama (ex Nakai). 



See my remarks under S. Wilsonii Seemen and also under S. eucalyptoides 

 Meyer. The following variety probably represents a distinct species. 



Salix glandule sa, var. Warburgii Koidzumi in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XXVII. 88 

 (1913). 



Salix Warburgii Seemen in Bot. Jahrb. XXIII. Beibl. LVI. 43 (1892). —Bur- 

 kill in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 534 (1899). — Matsumura & Hayata in Jour. 

 Coll. Sci. Tokyo, XXII. 394 {Enum. PI. Formos.) (1906). 

 Salix Mcsnyi Hayata in Jour. Coll. Sci. Tokyo, XXX. art. 1, 306 {Mat. Fl. 

 Formos.) (non Hance) (1911). 

 CHINA. Northern Formosa: Sintiam, January 1888, O. Warburg (No. 

 10201, type; 9; No. 10203; & type, ex von Seemen); Tai-peh Fu, January 1888, 

 Warburg (No. 10202; 9, ex von Seemen); same locality, secus aquas Taipeh, April 

 30, 1903, U. Faurie (No. 519); Kelung, January 1888, 0. Warburg (ex von See- 

 men); without locality, 1864 {R. Oldham No. 509). 



I have seen only Oldham's and Faurie's specimens which represent old fruiting 

 branches on which I could find no indication of dorsal glands. 



12. Salix eucalyptoides F. N. Meyer in litt., n. sp. 



Arbor, ut videtur satis magna, pulchra, trunco cortice albo tecto; ramuli elon- 

 gati, glabri, fusco-brunnei, vetustiores purpurascentes, subpruinosi. Folia adulta 

 (juvenilia nondum visa) lanceolata v. elliptico-lanceolata, utrinque acuta, supra 

 viridia, subtus glaucescentia v. albescentia, interdum in sicco utrinque pallida, 

 glaberrima, costa utrinque distincte flava v. brunnea, nervis lateralibus utrinque 

 paulo distinctis tenuibus sub 45-60° a costa divergentibus 2-3 pro 1 cm., margine 

 integra v. versus apicem breviter denticulato-serrata, 4-6.5 cm. longa, 1.2-2 cm. 

 lata, V. maxima ad 7 cm. longa et ad 2.3 cm. lata; petioli glabri, 4-6 mm. longi. 

 Amenta (tantum fructifera visa) pedunculos ad 2 cm. longos glabros fohis parvis 

 normalibus pracditos terminantia, glabra, 4-4.5 cm. longa, vix 1 cm. crassa, laxi- 

 fiora; capsulae pedicellis inclusis circiter 5 mm. longae, glabrae, oblongo-ellipticae, 

 angustae, pedicellis circiter 4-5-plo brevioribus glandulam unam ventralem latam 

 subamplectentem 3-4-plo superantibus suffultae, stigm.atibus ut videtur sessili- 

 ibus brevibusque coronatae; bracteae non visae, deciduae. 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Mandshuria: by streams, mountains 12 hours 

 east of Harbin by railroad, August 31, 1903, C. S. Sargent (slender tree; sterile). 

 Korea: without locality, valleys, August 14, 1906, F. N. Meyer (type; very fine 

 tree, white bark; with fruits). 



In a note accompanying his photograph (No. 5225 of the collection of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture) from North Korea, August 16, 1906, which shows a tree 

 of this Willow, Mr. Meyer says: "A remarkably tall willow, growing from 80-100 

 feet tall. Has, when young, a bark covered with white bloom; when older, this dis- 

 appears and the bark becomes shaggy like that of an Eucalyptus. If not yet named, 

 Salix eucalyptoides would be very appropriate." It may be the same as S. glandu- 

 losa of von Seemen and Nakai from Korea and seems to be a well marked species. 

 It chiefly differs from S. glandulosa Seemen in its narrower lanceolate often entire 

 leaves which are acute at the base and apparently bear no glands on the petioles. 

 The fruits are narrow-elliptical (not ovate), and the pedicel is comparatively short. 

 The only gland I have seen has the same shape as those of S. tetrasperma Roxburgh, 

 and it may belong to sect. Tetraspermae near S. Dunnii Schneider. The spec- 

 imen collected by Professor Sargent is a sterile one, but it is very like Meyer's plant.
