NOTES ON SALIX LONGIPES, SHUTTLW. AND ITS RELATIONS’ 
TO S. NIGRA, MARSH. 
BY N. M. GLATFELTER, M. D. c 
This willow * was collected by C. W. Short at the falls of 
the Ohio river, Louisville, Ky., 1840; by Rugel at St. 
Marks, Florida, 1843, one of the original specimens being” 
contained in the Missouri Botanical Garden Herbarium; by 
Dr. Engelmann at Belleville, Ill., 1849 (the specimen in 
the same herbarium unnamed); by L. F. Ward at Wash- 
ington, D. C., 1880; by B. F. Bush in many counties of 
Southern Missouri (State Hort. Rept. 1895). In addition 
to the range as reported by Bush, the writer has observed. 
it in St. Francois, Washington, Iron, Jefferson, and St. 
Louis counties, 1895, 1896, and also all the way along the. 
St. Louis and San Francisco R. R. from St. Louis to Spring 
field, Greene Co., Mo. The northern limit in Missouri, 
according to present knowledge, is therefore a line drawn: 
from the mouth of the Kansas river to the city of St. Louis. 
South of this it will probably be found in every county of | 
the State, excepting several chiefly alluvial or swampy. 
In some parts of this region it appears to prevail, according’ 
to Mr. Bush, even to the exclusion of S. nigra. Mr. 
Henry Eggert also collected it in several of the southern 
counties, 1893; at Nashville, Tennessee, July, 1897; near: 
Houston, Winston Co., Ala., Sept., 1897; and in west-. 
ern Tennessee. Mr. Bush collected it at Sapulpa and
