1918] SCHNEIDER—AMERICAN WILLOWS 351 
hand, S. anamesa is not identical with S. Waghornei, which I take 
for a hybrid between S. anglorum and S. cordifolia. Ihave not yet 
seen any S. anglorum south of Disco Island in Greenland, and the 
Greenland material which I am inclined to refer to S. cordifolia is 
very scanty and needs further observation. From S. anglorum the 
new species may at once be distinguished by its hairy filaments and 
its narrowly oblong, light brown bracts, which have the rather 
short and villous pubescence of the cordifolia type. It seems to 
me that S. anamesa represents the plant commonly called S. glauca 
by LaNncE, Hartz, and other authors, but I am not sufficiently 
acquainted with the Salix of Greenland, owing to the scarcity of 
material from there in American herbaria, to give a more proper 
definition of the so-called S. glauca and the numerous varieties of 
it described by ANDERSSON, LANGE, and others. I do not find in 
the existing literature a name I could apply to S. anamesa. The 
Salix of Greenland seem always to have been compared only with 
those of Europe, while in fact the material before me indicates a 
much closer relationship with the species from Northeastern 
America. If we glance at the varieties of S. glauca mentioned from 
Greenland, we find the following in LANGE’s Consp. Fl. Groenland. 
I:110. 1880, and 2:279. 1887: 
S. glauca var. sericea And., the type of which is S. sericea Vill., 
Hist. Pl. Dauph. 1:382. 1786, nom. nud.; 3:782. pl. 51. fig. 27. 
1789, and which ANDERSSON refers to his f. 3. Janceolata. Accord- 
ing to LANGE (1880) this var. sericea and also var. appendiculata 
(Vahl) Wahlb. are ‘‘tolerably common on some moist places.” The 
latter variety is well figured by VAHL, FI. Dan. 6. fasc. 18:6. pl. 1056. 
1792. Neither of these varieties seems to me identical with the 
forms I refer to S. anamesa. LANGE’s third variety, var. ovalifolia 
Lge., Fl. Dan. 17, fasc. 50:11. pl. 2981. 1880 (S. glauca a sericea 2 
ovalifolia And.; ?S. glauca var. Brown in Trans. Bot. Soc. Edinbgh. 
9:450. 1868) pro parte, may be represented by the following 2 
specimens before me: Disco Island, September 1854, Lyall (fr.; 
N., ex Herb. Hook.), and ‘“Gebiet des Umanakfjordes (7o-71° 
N.Br.),” August 18, 1892, E. Vanhéffen (no. 89[220], fr.; N.). The 
broad-elliptic or oval leaves which measure up to 3.5:2.3 or 5: 
2.2 cm., and are more or less villous, especially on the rib of the
