CATALOGUE. 241 
leaves of the short peduncle; scales obovate, black, villous with white hairs; 
capsules conic-rostrate, glabrous; pedicels about twice the length of the 
nectary; style medium-sized, pale, stigmas entire, erect. South Park, 
Colorado (825) ; also Georgetown (826 in part). Differs from S. cordata in 
the more compact aments, subsessile capsules, and leaves green on both 
sides and slightly crenate—not glandular-serrate. Apparently a common 
willow in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, having been collected there 
by Hall, Greene, Porter, Patterson, Brandegee, and others. Under the 
inappropriate name of S. Nove Anglie (for British American), Professor 
Andersson has arranged a series of forms, intermediate, as it were, between 
our S. cordata and S. Myrsinites of Northern and Arctic Europe and Asia, 
probably including several good species, which, with better material, may 
hereafter be separated. 
SaLIX DESERTORUM, Richardson (DC. Prod. 16, 2, 281; Porter, Fl. Col. 
128).—Leaves narrowly oblong, rigid, more or less whitish-tomentose 
beneath; aments very short, subglobose, densely flowered; scales pale 
rose-color, densely white villous; capsules ovate-conical, white-woolly, 
sessile; style 2-parted, brown. A low, scraggy, much branched shrub, 
rising to the height of two or three feet, or even more, when it descends 
into the valleys——South Park, Colorado, June (819, 829). To this species 
should be referred Hall & Harbour’s No. 523 (very similar to Drummond’s 
No. 657) and most of the so-called S. glauca of the Colorado Mountains. 
Satix Wotru, Bebb, sp. nov.—Leaves oblanceolate, or the lower 
narrowly oblong, acute, entire, silky when young, with a tendency to 
blacken in drying, at length smooth, rigid, and green on both sides; 
stipules none; aments small, subglobose (less than 4’ long), densely 
flowered, scarcely peduncled, with 3-4 bracts at base, which exceed in 
length the mature, fertile ament; scales obtuse, black, very sparingly villous ; 
capsules conical, from an ovate base, pointed, glabrous, subsessile, greenish 
or dull red; pedicels barely equalling the gland; style slender, greenish 
or dull; stigmas small, bifid or entire—South Park, Colorado (820, 824, 
828; also collected by Dr. Parry on Wind River, 263, in Captain Jones's 
Wyoming Expedition, 1873). Resembles the foregoing in habit and in 
the form of the leaves and aments, but distinguished by the perfectly
