 Sanson apud Bongard in Mem. Acad. Sci. St. Petersbourg, s6r. 6, II. 162 

 (Veg^l. de Sitcha 44) (1833) does not occur in Asia. 



Salix speciosa Hooker & Arnott, var. ajanensis Andersson in De Candolle, 

 Prodr. XVI. pt. 2, 275 (1868).

 now (see Herder, 1. c; 9 type). 



Salix speciosa, var. chrysea Andersson in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. pt. 2, 276 



(1868). 



NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Yakutsk: without \ocaMty, Stxibendorff (d" and 

 9 types, ex Andersson). 



It seems extremely doubtful if any of these forms belong to S. speciosa Hooker 

 & Arnott {Bot. Voy. Beechey, 130 [non Host, 1828] [1832]), the correct name of which 

 is S. alaxensis Coville (in Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci. 11.280 [1900]). — S. speciosa, 

 /S alaxensis Andersson in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. pt. 2, 275 [1868]. — S. longi- 

 stylis Rydberg in Bull. N. York Bot. Gard. II. 163 [1901]). 



Salix subfragilis Andersson in Mem. Am. Acad. n. ser. VI. 450 (Gray, Bot. 

 Jap.) (1859). — Franchet & Savatier, Enum. PI. Jap. II. 502 (1879). — Seemen, 

 Salic. Jap. 74 (1903). 



JAPAN. Hokkaido: prov. Oshima, Hakodate, S. W. Williams & J. Morrow 

 (9 type, ex Andersson). 



Unfortunately I have not been able to see the type specimen of this plant, and 

 so far as I can judge from the rather short description it may be the same as S. 

 jessoensis Seemen or S. hondoensis Koidzumi (see p. 110). 



Salix viridula Andersson Af em. Am. Acad. n. ser. VI. 451 (Gray, Bot. Jap.) (1859). — 

 Seemen, Salic. Jap. 74 (1903). 



Salix padifolia, var. viridula Andersson in De Candolle, Prodr. XVI. pt. 2, 

 256 (1868). 

 JAPAN. Hondo: Yokohama, S. W. Williains & J. Morrow (o^ type, ex 

 Andersson). 



I have not seen the type specimen of this species, which according to the descrip- 

 tion may be S. Reinii Franchet & Savatier (see p. 127). 



Salix Yoshinoi Koidzumi in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XXIX. 314 (1915). 



JAPAN. Hondo : "prov. Bittsiu, Kawakamigori, Abe" (9 type, ex Koidzumi). 



Without having seen a specimen I am not able to determine the relationship 

 of this Willow, which may belong to sect. Albae or to sect. Helix. Koidzumi says 

 that the catkins resemble those of S. hirosakensis Koidzumi, which is the same as 

 S. hondoensis Koidzumi (see p. 110).
