2. Salix amygdaloides Andersson. Willow. Plate 16. Bark of 

 trunk fissured, dark brown tinged with red; twigs somewhat brit- 

 tle, smooth, orange or reddish-brown; winter buds ovoid, about 3 

 mm. (J/g inch) long, pointed, smooth; leaves ovate-lanceolate, 5-10 

 cm. (2-4 inches) long, 1-2.5 cm. {%-l inch) wide, finely serrate, 

 long attenuate at the apex, narrowed at the base, pubescent when 

 very young, soon becoming glabrous, smooth and bright green 

 above, paler or a bluish glaucous and smooth beneath; petioles 1-3 

 cm. (5^-1 M inches) long; flowers appear in April or May, generally 

 about two weeks after the preceding species. 



Distribution. Quebec west to Manitoba, south to central Ohio 

 and west to Illinois, and southward and westward through the 

 Rocky Mountains. In Indiana it is known only from the northern 

 part of the State. The specimens at hand are one taken by Umbach 

 in Lake County and one taken by Deam in Lake County. It is a 

 small tree and is difficult to separate from the preceding species. 

 It has a more upright habit of growth and is usually found on the 

 borders of stagnant water such as ponds, swamps and lakes. In 

 text books it is called the peach-leaved willow. 



The pul)lished records are as follows: Kosciusko (Scott). 



Economic uses. Too rare to be of any economic importance.

 leaves ovate to lanceolate, 7-15 cm. (3-6 inches) long, long-pointed, 

 narrowed or rounded at the base, conspicuously glandular serrate, 

 with a few hairs when they unfold, soon becoming glabrous, dark 

 green above and paler beneath; petioles 6-12 mm. (3^-3/^ inch) 

 long, usually glandular near the base of the leaf; flowers appear in 

 April or May.
