distinct species of Salix, closely related to those of Ilupeh and Szech'uan, although 

 different in several respects.

INDIA. Without precise locality, G. S. Perrotet & V. Jacquemont (ex Andersson) . 



This seems to be a curious species which was not mentioned by Hooker in his 

 Flora of British India. According to the author the large ovate-acuminate leaves 

 are from 5 to 10 cm. long and from 2.5 to 5 cm. broad, with petioles up to 2.5 cm. 

 in length. They are scarcely paler beneath and show a distinct reticulation. The 

 catkins and the capsules are almost sessile. There is no style and the stigmas are 

 deeply divided.

AFGHANISTAN. Without locality (No. 4505, Herb. Griffith; with fruits). 



S. dealbata Andersson and his two species referred to it as being apparently the 

 same plant or nearly related forms seem to belong to a group of species hitherto 

 very little known. Without having seen Jacqueniont's specimens it is impossible 



* This Willow is apparently the one mentioned by Jacquemont, Voy. II. 7 (1841), 

 as: " Une cspece de Saule (B. 208), la premiere que je vis dans I'lnde, est commune 

 sur les greves du torrent. C'est un arbre qui ressemble beaucoup, par son jiort, 

 au Salix alba d'Europe." Jacquemont was at Saharunpur from April sccontl to 

 ninth, 1830, and camped at Mohun April 11, not in August.
