SALICACEAE. — SALIX 119 



sent to me by Mgr. L(5veill6. The flowers have two glands and the species very 

 much resembles S. dyscrita Schneider. The bracts of S. erioclada, however, are more 

 oblong, the filaments are very slightly hairy at the base, and the young leaves have 

 a difTerent nervation, the lateral nerves being more numerous, about 10 in a leaf 

 of 1.8 cm. in length, while a leaf of the same size of S. dyscrita Schneider has only 

 about 5 or 6. As long as it is impossible to compare better material with fully 

 grown leaves, I prefer not to unite these two forms, which are geographically well 

 separated. 



L6veiI16 (in litt. 1915) says that under the two names S. erioclada and S. pachy- 

 clada (see p. 150) " se cachent certainement plusieurs esp^ces."

Through the kindness of the author, I have received a c? and a $ catkin of this 

 species the original description of which I have not been able to consult. The fol- 

 lowing is the description of what I have seen: 



Ramuli?. Folia juvenilia elliptica, utrinque subobtusa, in sicco nigrescentia, supra 

 costa albo-villosa subincisa excepta glabra, venis vix visibilibus, subtus glauces- 

 centia, costa elevata facieque sparse v. distinctius adpresse sericea v. costa sericeo- 

 villosula, nervis paullo elevatis pro 2.5 cm. circiter 8, margine minute et indistincte 

 adpresse glanduloso-denticulata, ad 2.5 cm. longa et 1.1 cm. lata; petioli circiter 

 2-4 mm. longi, dense albo-cani. Amenta ut videtur subcoetanea, subsessilia, basi 

 foliolis 1-3 parvis subtus sericeis suffulta, cylindrica, rhachi villosula, cf ad 5.5 cm. 

 longa, circiter 0.7 cm. crassa, 9 (florifera) ad 3.5 cm. longa, circiter 0.6 cm. crassa; 

 flores cf diandri, filamentis glabris liberis quam bracteae 4-5-plo longioribus, 

 antheris parvis flavis subglobosis; glandulae 2, ventralis oblonga, apice incisa, 

 bractea paullo brevior, dorsalis parva, tenuia, ventraU minor; bracteae parvae, 

 ovato-rotundae, concavae, flavo-brunnescentes, margine et basi villosae, ceterum 

 plus minusve glabrae; ovaria sessiUa v. subsessilia, ovata, stylo parvo sed di.stincto 

 satis crasso apice bifido stigmatibus minimis emarginatis coronata; glandula una 

 ventralis, bractea fere duplo brevior, oblonga, angusta; bracteae late ovatae, 

 obtusae, iis florum cf non absimiles, pleraeque tantum basi utrinque villosae. 



This species seems nearly related to S. erioclada L6veill6, p. 118, which chiefly 

 dififers in its longer oblong bracts. The cT catkins and young leaves look very much 

 alike, but the latter seem to be entire in S. erioclada. S. dyscrita Schneider also 

 much resembles the cf plant of S. Camusii, but in S. dyscrita the filaments are 

 very hairy at the base, and the young entire leaves show fewer pairs of lateral 

 nerves. Unfortunately, the 9 sex neither of S. dyscrita Schneider nor of S. erioclada 

 L6veill(5 is known.

According to the two glands in the cf flower, this species belongs to sect. Denti- 

 culatae. The 9 flowers have a rather long style bifid at the apex with very small 

 stigmas. Old leaves are unknown. See the key, pp. 77 and 78.
