SALICACEAE. — SALIX 141 



specimen is the tjT^e of S. phlebophylla Andersson, f. major. The second form, f. 

 media, is based upon " Cap Mulgrave: Beechey " and " Arctic coast: Dr. Richards- 

 son." The third form, f. minor, is described without citing a specimen. In all these 

 3 forms the capsules are described as " glaberrimae," but in 18G8 Andersson mixed 

 these forms with others saying: "capsulis . . . tenuiter puberulis sessiUbus." Ryd- 

 berg says: " and the capsule somewhat puberulent when young." He quotes C. 

 Wright's specimen mentioned above. I suppose this specimen is the same as that 

 quoted by Herder, 1. c, under S. Uva-ursi Pursh, which is a species of northeastern 

 America. I have seen no specimen of Wright which belongs to S. phlebophylla. 



Sect. 19. BERBERIFOLIAE Schneider, n. sect. 



Frutices humiles trunco crasso prostrato saepe radicante, ramulis parvis erectis 

 V. procumbentibus. Foha ut in sect. Myrsinites, utrinque viridia et reticulata, 

 argute, saepe inaequaliter inciso-serrata v. crenato-serrata. Amenta ramulos folia- 

 tos plus minusve longos terminantia, breviter v. longius cylindrica, densiflora, satis 

 crassa; flores cf diandri, biglandulosi, glandula dorsali saepe minima, antheria 

 initio ut videtur flavis deinde nigrescentibus; fiores 9 glandula una ventrali v. 

 interdum etiam glandula dorsali minima, ovariis glabris plus minusve pedicellatis, 

 stylis brevibus v. mediocribus, stigmatibus bipartitis oblongis. 



This section differs from sect. Myrsinites especially in the biglandular cf flowers, 

 and from the sect. Herbaceae in its longer many-flowered catkins and more distinct 

 styles.

 Steller (type of Gmehn) ; '' Davuria, in rupibus calvis montium excelsissimorum, 

 juxta nives," Sujeff (Pallas's type). Kamtchatka : G. W. Steller (Pallas's co-type). 



I have not seen a type specimen. According to Trautvetter the var. genuina 

 Glehn, 1. c, may be distinguished by " foliis profunde inciso-serratis, serraturis pa- 

 tentissimis, immo deorsum erectis," while the following var. Brayi differs by " foliis 

 minute serratis, serraturis sursum spectantibus." There is a var. criocarpa Traut- 

 vetter (in Act. Hort. Petrop. VI. 35 [1879]) with pubescent ovaries; the type of it 

 was found by Turczaninow " in alpe Czekondo tractus baicalensis," together with 

 var. genuina. 



I suppose the following variety is very closely connected with the tj^pical form, 



Salix berberifolia, var. Brayi Trautvetter ex Herder in Act. Hort. Petrop. 

 XI. 445 (1891). 



^ This species was first figured by Gmelin as Salix prtmila foliis dense congcstis 

 ovalibus cristatis (Fl. Sibir. I. 161, t. 35, fig. 3 [1747]), and later by Pallas as Salix 

 foUis sessiUbus ovatis dentato-serratis vcnosis nitcntibus (Rcise, III. Ai)p. 759, t. K.k., 

 fig. 7 [1776]).
