126 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



Salix boganidensis, var. latifolia Trautvetter in Act. Hort. Petrop. VI. 34 {Fl. 

 Terr. Tschuktsch.) (1879). — Herder in Act. Hort. Petrop. XI. 435 (1891). 



Salix taimyrensis Trautvetter in Act. Hort. Petrop. V. pt. 2, 557 {Fl. Rip. 

 Kolym. 63) (non Trautvetter) (1878). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Maritime prov.: Anadyr River, May 23, 26, 

 30, June 1, 3, 7, 12, 14, 15, 20, 1869, K. Maydell (ex Trautvetter); Kolyma River, 

 May 30, June 24, July 6, 1875 and June 14, 1876, F. M. Augustinowicz (ex Traut- 

 vetter); river Jana, June 27, 1885, A. Bungef. (ex Herder). 



According to Trautvetter (1847) the type is " inter S. phylicifoliam L. et S. 

 arbusculam L. quasi media." The figure sliows a nearly sessile ovary with a long 

 style, not unlike that of S. viminalis Linnaeus, but von Seemen says that in S. 

 kolymensis the styles seem to be rather longer than in S. boganidensis, and he 

 places S. kolymensis in the group " Meiostylae." Ledebour and Andersson place S. 

 boganidensis in the same group with S. lanata Linnaeus, but I cannot decide to 

 which section it really belongs. 



84. Salix oblongifolia Trautvetter & Meyer in Middendorff, Reise Sibir. I. 2, 

 Bot., Abt. 2, 81 {Fl. Ochot.) (1856). — Andersson in De CandoUe, Prodr. XVI. pt. 

 2, 248 (1868). — Herder in Act. Hort. Petrop. XI. 419 (1891). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Maritime prov. : " ad sinum Ujakon," August 

 23-September 1, A. T. von Middendorff (type, ex Trautvetter & Meyer; with 

 fruits). Kamtchatka: Petropavlovsk, Kastalsky (ex Herder) . 



This very little known species may represent S. phylicifolia Linnaeus from east- 

 ern Asia (see p. 124). According to the description it is near S. characta Schneider, 

 p. 125, but differs from it chiefly in the remotely serrulate leaves and in the silky 

 ovaries. It has been omitted in the key. 



85. Salix udensis Trautvetter & Meyer, in Middendorff, Reise Sibir. I. pt. 2, Bot., 

 Abt. 2, 81 (Fl. Ochot.) (1856). — Andersson in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. pt. 2, 248 

 (1868). — Herder in Act. Hort. Petrop. XI. 419 (1891). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Maritime prov. : near Udskoi, June 15, 1844, A. 

 T. von Middendorff (9 type, ex Trautvetter & Meyer). 



This is an uncertain species, which is said to be nearly related to S. arbuscula (S. 

 formosa Willdenow), but has the leaves greenish on both surfaces. It has been 

 omitted in the keys. 



86. Salix chlorostachya Turczaninow in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. XXVII. 373 

 (1854). — Andersson in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. Handl. VI. 143, t. 7, fig. 78 {Monog. 

 Salic.) (1867); in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. pt. 2, 246 (1868). — Herder in Act. 

 Hort. Petrop. XI. 416 (1891). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Transbaikalia: "in insulis fluvii Angarae, ad 

 torrentem Chalagum prope Turan, in transbaicalensibus et cet.," N . Turczaninow 

 (9 type, ex Turczaninow). 



According to Turczaninow the type of this species was apparently collected in 

 Gouv. Irkutsk, but the species also occurs in TransbaikaUa on the western limits of 

 our area. Andersson, 1. c. (1867), describes these forms, and he says: " Est species 

 sat singularis amentis S. retusae, foliis nunc (integerrimis) S. myrtilloidi nunc (ser- 

 rulatis) S. arbusculae similis, sed habitu quasi inter S. arbxisculam et S. phylicifo- 

 liam intermedia." Turczaninow says: " pedicellis nectarium aequantibus," while 

 Andersson says: " pedicello nectarium duplo superante." The ovary is glabrous. 

 I have not seen any specimen, and I doubt if Andersson's different forms belong 

 to the same species.
