long, 5 mm. wide, remotely denticulate, shortly acuminate. The 

 capsules are on pedicels i mm. long, and some of the stigmas 

 appear as if borne on short styles. The flowering rachis, pedi- 

 cels and bracts are clothed with short glandular hairs. 



Salix hindsiana Benth. PI. Hartw. 335. 1857. 



No. 7884, collected May 29, on sandy banks of the Sacra- 

 mento at the bridge near Redding, Shasta county, the female 

 plant only. It is a spreading shrub about eight feet high. The 

 leaves are entire, with slightly revolute margins, the largest 

 about 5 cm. long, 4 mm. wide, shortly acuminate, the base nar- 

 rov/ed, petioles 2 mm. long. Bentham says "stylus brevissimus, 

 bipartitus, lobis stigmatosis profunde bifidis," and so it is in our 

 specimens, the stigma appearing as if 4-lobed. This species has 

 been referred to 6". argophylla by Professor Rowlee, but Benth- 

 am's description seems not to warrant this disposition, the nar- 

 row leaves and distinct style throwing it out of that species.

 the type "ad flumen Sacramento," probably not far from the 

 site of the present town of Butte, Butte county. It was de- 

 scribed from the male plant only.

 creek at Marysville, Sutter county, in fairly mature fruit, exhib- 

 its the characteristic hairy flowering rachis of this species, which

 15 feet high.
