SALICACEAE. — SALIX 169 



CHINA. Chili : " J6hol, bords des ruisseaux," May and March, A. David (No. 

 1681, type, ex Franchet). 



I have not seen the type of this variety, and the description is too short to judge 

 whether it is distinct or not. 



162. Salix Gilgiana Seemen, Salic. Jap. 59, t. 13, fig. a-d (1903). — L6veill6 in 

 Bull. Acad. Intern. Geogr. Bot. XVI. 14,5 (1906). 



JAPAN. Hondo: prov. Musashi, Tokyo (Jedo), March 15, April 23, June 8, 

 1874, Hilgendorf (cf and 9 types ex Seemen). I doubtfully include here the follow- 

 ing specimens: prov. Shimotsuke, Chuzenji, lava beds, common, alt. 1800 m., May 

 27, 1914, E. H. Wilson (No. 6748; bush 1.5-2.4 m. tall; 9 ); prov. Musashi, Toda, 

 April 12, 1891, K. Watajiabe (9); Tokyo, March 1895 (No. 46 Herb. Bot. Card. 

 Tokyo; 9); same place, April 22, 1893 (No. 112; Herb. Bot. Gard. Tokyo; with 

 fruits); same place, April 3, 1901 (No. 123; Herb. Bot. Gard. Tokyo; 9); 

 Hokkaido: prov. Ishikari, Sapporo, cultivated, May 3, 1906, /. Hanzawa (cf 

 and 9). 



These specimens agree with one another and with von Seemen's description, but 

 the leaves are not so distinctly and sharply serrate as they are shown in Seemen's 

 figure. S. Gilgiana needs further study.

This species is very nearly related to the following, which chiefly differs in it8 

 glabrous ovaries and seems to have a different geographical distribution. See Wolf, 

 1. c. (1903). The length of the short style, which is sometimes wanting, varies in 

 both species; the bracts are yellowish and not two-colored, as in S. purpurea and 

 its nearest relatives. The species with bracts of one color may perhaps represent 

 a different section. 



* Salix angustifolia Wulfen (in Jacquin, Collect. III. 48 [1789]) is often regarded 

 as a synonym of S. rosmarinifolia Linnaeus, but according to several authors Lin- 

 nacus's plant may represent a hybrid between S. repens Linnaeus and «S'. viminalis 

 Linnaeus, while Wulfen's plant is the same as S. repens, var. rosinarinifolia 

 Wimmer & Grabowski {Fl.Siles. II. 380 [1829].— 5. repens var. angustifolia Neil- 

 reich, Fl. Wicn, 79[1846]).
