SALICACEAE. — SALIX 135 



? Salix hirta Royle, III. Bot. Himal. I. 343 (nomen nudum) (1839). 

 Salix Roylei Klotzsch apud Andersson in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. Handl. 1850, 

 479 (1851); Bot. Ergeh. ReisePrinz. Waldemar, 120 (nomen nudum) (1862). 

 Salix hastata, f. rolundifolia, f . oblongifolia Andersson in Svensk. Vetensk. Akad. 

 Handl. 1850, 479 (1851); in Jour. Linn. Soc. IV. 51 (1860). 

 INDIA. Kashmir : " Hazara distr., Kogan valley, Safr Haluk Sar, 18000 ft.," 

 June5, 1910(cf and9); "alt. 6-9000 ped.," T. Thomson (ex Andersson); "Western 

 Tibet, alt. 11-15000 ped.," T. Thomson (type, 9); " Ladak, alt. 15000 ped.," 

 T. Thomson (sterile); same district, " Kharbu Koma to Shaksi, southwest of 

 Dah," July 3, 1886, Schlagintweit (No. 5329; 9); " Balti, Tsogosbang above 

 Barol Brok, right side of the Sos p6r glacier," July 17, 1856, Schlagintweit (No. 

 6096; sterile); " Has6ra, S;ingu Sdr, on the right side of the Tsunger glacier," 

 September 12, 1856, Schlagintweit (No. 6592; sterile). 



The type of this variety has a long style, but No. 5392 is a rather typical S. 

 hastata Linnaeus. Perhaps this Himalayan form is the same as S. hastata, var. 

 alpestris Andersson, 1. c. 172 (1867). In Herb. Ind. Or. .S. hastata, var. himalensis 

 is often mixed with S. sclerophylla Andersson. See p. 112. 



Although I have not seen the Sikkim specimens mentioned by Hooker f ., 1. c. 631, 

 I doubt if they belong to S. hastata Linnaeus. 



98. Salix kenoensis Koidzumi in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XXVII. 265 (1913). 

 JAPAN. Hondo: prov. Musashi, Chitsibu; prov. Kozuke, Akagisan (ex 



Koidzumi). 



" Species*?. Shiraii Seemen affinis, sed florum glandulis oblongis; filamentis basi 

 distincte connatis pilosis; foliis basi obtusis non cordatis subtus secus costas ad- 

 presse villoso-tomentoso differt." 



I have not seen a specimen of this plant. 



99. Salix Shiraii Seemen in Bot. Jahrb. XXX. Beibl. LXVII. 40 (1901); Salic. 

 Jap. 42, t. 6, fig. F-K (1903).— L6veille in Bull. Acad. Int. Geogr. Bot. IV. 208 

 (1904). 



JAPAN. Hondo : prov. Shimotsuke, Nikko, on rocks, alt. 2000 m., May 1898, 

 M. Shirai (Nos. 42, 43, types, d', ex Seemen); same locality, May 27, 1898, U. 

 Faurie (No. 2142, co-type; 9, ex Seemen); same locality, April 1898, H. Shira- 

 sawa (young 9 flowers) ; prov. Mutsu, Aomori, "in monte Hakkoda usque ad 2000 

 m.," June 8, 1894, U. Faurie (Nos. 13103, 13105; 9, ex Leveille). 



I have seen only Shirasawa's specimen, the flowers of which well agree with von 

 Seemen's figures. But there is a plant collected by E. H. Wilson, at Nikko, a bush 

 from 0.6-1.2 m. tall, roadsides, etc., common, alt. 700-1100 m.. May 14, 1914 (No. 

 6686; cf and 9 ), which very much resembles S. Shiraii Seemen, except that the 

 glands are shorter and broader, and that the pedicels of the ovaries are scarcely 

 longer than the gland; the filaments seem to be somewhat united at the very base. 



100. Salix mezereoides Wolf in Act. Hort. Petrop. XXVIII. 529 (1911). 

 NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Ussuri: "distr. Chabarowsk, mons Janykan," 



July 16, 1910, A^. Kuznctzov (No. 187, cf type, ex Wolf). 



Wolf doubtfully refers this not fully known species to sect. Hastatae. According 

 to the description the leaves seem to resemble those of S. characta Schneider (see 

 p. 125), but they are "basi in petiolum longum sensim attenuata." The cT 

 catkins appear with the leaves and are cylindrical, from 12 to 22 mm. long, the 

 filaments are glabrous or nearly so and the bracts are ligulate. 



101. Salix Nakamurana Koidzumi in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XXVII. 96 (1913); in 

 Matsumura, Icon. PI. Koisikav. I. 149 t. 75 (1913).
