SALIC ACE AE. — SALIX 117 



Folia (tantum juvenilia visa) oblanoeolata, basin versus angustata, acuta, apice 

 brevius longiusve acutata, minora elliptica, utrinque acuta, supra viridia, tantum 

 costa sericea, subtus glauca, initio satis, deinde tantum ad costam albo-sericea, 

 nervis angustis parallelis paullo prominulis circiter 3 pro 1 cm., margine subintegra 

 v. brevissime glanduloso-undulato-denticulata, minora ramulorum floriferorum 1.5- 

 3.5 cm. longa, 1.8 cm. lata, maxima lanceolata ad 9 cm. longaet supra medium 2.5 

 cm. lata; petioli subsericei, 5-9 mm. longi. Amenta 9 gracillima, curvata, ramulis 

 circiter 1 cm. longis folia 3-4 parva normalia gerentibus pedunculata, 5-7 cm. longa, 

 circiter 0.5 cm. crassa, rhachi sparse sericea; ovaria glabra, breviter pedicellata, 

 pedicellis glandula una oblonga apice saepe erosa ventrali subbrevioribus, stylis 

 Bubaequilongis vix bifidis stigmatibus satis longis bifidis recurvatis coronata;

 nomine S. elegans Wall, y, ex Herb. Ind. Or. in Herb. Gray). 



This interesting species differs from all the species of this section in its glabrous 

 ovaries. In the long thin aments it resembles S. DaUoniana Andersson, in other re- 

 spects somewhat S. longiflora Andersson, from which it differs in its short pedicels 

 and long styles. As far as I can judge from the poor specimen before me, it seems 

 near S. DaUoniana Andersson, but needs further investigation. 



The specific name is derived from pahivos, slender, and araxvs, spike. 



Sect. 12. DENTICULATAE Schneider, n. sect. 



Frutices breviramosi v. interdum arbores parvae. Folia satis parva, elliptica, 

 breviter denticulata v. integra, pleraque tantum initio pilosa, subtus glauca. 

 Amenta coetanea pedunculis foliolatis instructa, d^ breviora, saepissime satis laxi- 

 flora, 9 satis longa et densiflora; flores cf diandri, glandula dorsali et ventrali in- 

 structa, staminibus liberis basi v. ad medium villosis; bracteae obovatae, obtusae, 

 v. obovato-spathulatae; ovaria breviter pedicellata v. sessilia, glabra v. pilosa, 

 stylis subnullis v. distinctis apice breviter bifidis, stigmatibus bifidis; glandula una, 

 ventrahs, oblonga; bracteae obovatae. 



I unite the following species in this section on account of the two glands of the cf 

 flowers.
