 No. 8327, collected May 23, in the foothills west of Bishop, 

 Inyo county, on the banks of Birch creek, elevation about 500a 

 feet, where it occurred as a stout spreading bush ten feet high. 

 Our plant is much like one collected by C. F. Baker at Cimar- 

 ron, Colorado, and the same thing was collected by Hall on San 

 Jacinto mountain, no. 2447, labeled Salix cordata var. macken^ 

 zieana. In the recently issued Flora of Colorado, Rydberg rec- 

 ognizes this as a species, but under the name '''•Salix Fendleri- 

 anay That it is intentional is shown by the citing of Nuttall's 

 name as a synonym. There may be a valid reason for ignoring 

 this first name which belongs to the plant by reason of priority, 

 but I have not yet discovered it. 



Salix laevigata Bebb, Am. Nat. 8: 202. 1874. 



No. 8239, collected May 12, along an irrigating canal in 

 the sand hills three miles west of Laws, Inyo county, the speci- 

 mens from a shrub six or eight feet high. It is common in the 

 vicinity generally a large tree where it is planted along roads 

 and fences. The type came from Santa Cruz, on the coast 80 

 miles south of San Francisco, and it was a surprise to find it on 

 the east side of the Sierra. Coville, however, records it from 

 Inyo county in the Death Valley report.
