SALICACEAE. — SALIX 173 



1860) ; " in India orientali superiori," V. Jacquemont & G. S. Perrotet (9 typo of 

 S. myricaefolia, ex Andersson). 



See also my remarks under S. fruticulosa Andersson (p. 119). 



S. myricaefolia certainly is closely related to S. oxycarpa Andersson, which has 

 the same silky ovaries, and to S. pycnostachya Andersson, which has the same ob- 

 tusish and entire leaves, but it differs from both in its much shorter catkins. Of 

 the d^ flowers I have not seen sufficient material.

The tj-pe of this section, Salix caesia Villars (PI. Dauph. III. 768 [1789]) (see 

 Seemen in Ascherson & Graebner, Syn. MiUeleur. Fl. IV. 198 [1908]) does not 

 occur in Asia. The two following species are kept distinct by Wolf.

S. minutiflora is most closely related to S. Kochiana Trautvetter (see the differ- 

 ences in the key, p. 79 and p. 93).

This form does not occur in our area, so far as I know; I have seen specimens 

 from the Altai, P. Krylov, July 5, 1901.
