130 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA

 Seemen in Ascherson & Graebner, Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. IV. 152 (1909). 



Salix, sect. Vulpinae Seemen, Salic. Jap. 17 (1903). 



Species iis sect. Phylicifoliae saepe valde similes, sed praecipue differentes: 

 foliis saepe lanceolatis, amentis interdum rufescenti-pilosis, ovariis fere semper 

 glabris.i 



I follow Koidzumi in uniting sect. Vulpinae {S. vulpina) again with sect. Has- 

 tatae, and I believe that this section is most closely related to sect. Phylicifoliae. 

 Both groups, as now limited, seem to be more artificial than natural. It is an in- 

 teresting fact that apparently there is no species of these groups in the interior of 

 China.

^ Andersson also places in this section S. rhamnifolia Pallas (Fl. Ross. I. pt. 2, 84 

 [1788]) which was founded by Pallas upon Gmelin's No. 13 in his Fl. Sibir. I. 159, 

 t. 35, fig. I (1747), and which came from western Siberia, river Tunguska. Lede- 

 bour {Fl. Ross. III. pt. 2, 612 [1850]) mixed this species with S. rhamnifolia Hooker 

 & Arnott, see S.fuscescens Anderson, p. 153. Andersson (in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. 

 Handl. VI. 169, t. 9, fig. 100 [Monog. Salic] [1867]) describes one of Ledebour's 

 plants " ex Sibiria baicalensi." This species is a very doubtful plant, and I do 

 not know to which form really belong C. Wright's specimens from Arakamtchat- 

 chene Island, cited by Herder (in Act. Hart. Petrop. XI. 420 [1891]) under S. 

 rhamnifolia Pallas.
