Frutices alti v. minores, breviter ramosi. Folia pleraque ovato-lanceolata usque 

 obovata, saepissime glabra, interdum pubescentia, subtus viridia v. pallida, margine 

 remote inflexo-serrata, marcescentia saepe nigrescentia. Amenta ovali-cylindrica, 

 subsessilia v. breviter pedunculata; ovaria pleraque pilosa, pedicellata; glandula 

 semper una ventralis. 



This section i seems to include rather different forms. Most of the species of 

 northeastern Asia are only imperfectly known, and I have not been able to see much 

 material. I am following Andersson and von Seemen, but I cannot agree with 

 them in their systematic arrangement. The forms of this and the following section 

 specially need careful study.

1 According to Ledebour {Fl. Ross. III. 609 [1850]), S. nigricans Smith (in 

 Trans. Linn. Soc. VI. 120 [1802]), was found in Kamtchatka (by Charnisso and by 

 Becchey ex Hooker & Arnott). 1 do not find any mention of S. nigricans in Hooker 

 & Arnott, Bat. Voy. Beechey. According to Siuzev (in Trav. Mus. Bot. Acad. 

 Sci. St. Petersbourg, IX. [Contr. Fl. Mansh.] [1912]) ex Toepffer, Salicol. Mitt. 

 No. 5, 248 (1912), S. nigricans has been recently found in ]\Iandshuria. I only 

 mention this fact with the remark that according to the Vienna rules the oldest 

 name for this species apparently is *S. myrsinifolia SaHsbury, Prodr. 394 (1796), 

 founded on S. myrsinites Hoffmann, Hist. Salic. I. 71, t. 17-19 and 24, fig. 2 (non 

 Linnaeus) (1787). The type of S. nigricans Smith is S. phylicifolia, var. /3 Linnaeus, 

 Spec. 1016 (1753). For further synonyms and literature see von Seemen in Ascher- 

 son & Graebner, Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. IV. 132 (1909). 



^ According to the Vienna rules there is no reason why this name should be 

 changed. It is founded on " Salix foliis serratis glabris lanceolatis, crenis undulatis " 

 in Fl. Lappon. 283, No. 351 (misprint 358 in Spec), t. 8, fig. d (1737). This 

 is Linnaeus' type according to Andersson, Salic. Lappon. 42 (1845), Wimmer, Salic. 

 Europ. 79 (1866), Enander, Salic. Linn. Herb. 96 (1907) and other authors. I be- 

 lieve Toepffer, Salicet. Exsiccat. No. 31, made a mistake in saying that Linnaeus' 

 No. 351 of the Flora Lapponica represents S. nigricans Smith and that No. 350 

 {Salix phylicifolia, var. /3 Linn^, Spec. PI. 1018 [1753]) is S. bicolor Ehrhart. 

 According to Smith the type of S. nigricans is " *S. phylicifolia /3 Linn. Sp. PI. 1442, 

 Fl. Lapp. ed. 2, 291, t. 8, f. c. n. 350." See S. myrsinifolia Salisbury above.
