has not been found in Westmoreland. TI originally mistook for it 
some male specimens of pentandra. I never saw female specimens 
of cuspidata of British growth, besides those communicated by 
Mr. Leighton. I have long known the male tree in cultivation”;

Salia viridis, Fries.

Ambiguity. Dr. Andersson so named examples in my herbarium, 
which had been considered to represent Russelliana ; but one of 
which is more probably alba, misplaced among the fragiles. It will 
be well for botanists to examine carefully any willows resembling 
fragilis, but distinguished by smaller and more finely serrate 
leaves. Possibly the explanation of Dr. Andersson applying both 
names to the nos. 52 and 54 of Leefe’s Salictum, may be found in 
some intermingling of the specimens, the leaf-specimens being 
crossed to the wrong nos. See Botanical Gazette, ili. 60.

Northwards to York or Forfar, by. records. This has been con- 
sidered an introduced species; perhaps because Mr. Borrer reported 
it as a willow of cultivation in Sussex. But the narrow-leaved 
plant of the Thames side, to which Mr. Baker and others have 
applied the name of undulata or lanceolata (not lanceolata of Fries, 
which Dr. Andersson holds synonymous with acuminata of Smith) 
appears quite as natural there as does the viminalis or the purpurea 
along with which it occurs. A willow from Claygate, Surrey, dis- 
tributed as “undulata, fide Andersson,” is different from that of 
the Thames side, at any rate by its much wider leaves, and may 
belong to triandra or amygdalina ; possibly “undulata” may have 
been written to it inadvertently, instead of amygdalina. 
Salia contorta, Crowe. 
Provinces - 2 8. Cultivated in Sussex. Essex; Sal. no. 6. 
Alien? Appears not to be wild in Britam; E. B. vii. 216. 
Salia acutifolia, Willd. S. daphnoides, Vill. 
Province - 10. North-west York; Ward. North-east York; Mudd. 
Alien? Denizen; Baker N. Y. p. 280. Originally reported as 
daphnoides ; why the name acutifolia was soon substituted, I know 
not. Andersson places acutifolia as a variety of daphnoides, in the 
Prodromus, xvi. 261.
