29, 11 S. cor data Muhl. forma 



197 Sprague. This I take to be S. la si an dr a var. fendler iana 



Anders. (sp) but can not feel quite sure without th 

 mature leaves. As I have citd under this form as a synonym S* 

 pentan dra L. var. caudata Mutt. some botanist of the Agricultural 

 Department, whose name I can not now recall as I write, has crit- 

 icised myselection of Andersons name, claiming that I should have 

 written j5. lasiandr a var. caudata . In this I am indlined to 



think he is right , but I have no copy of Nat tall 1 a Flora, do not 



in 



own the work and am unable to go back and revise this particular 

 the work done on the Willows of California more than ten years 

 ago. I think however that 1 should advise you to write caudata 

 Nuttt instead of fendler iana Anuers. It is a puzzle , anyway, 

 to decide what is best to do with the protean forms of this spe- 

 cies. I should like right well to arrange them all under S. lu« 

 cida, only that having done this much still better reasons would 

 exist for carrying the whole group to the European S. pent an dry, 

 and by the time this was done the aggregation would be dropped as 

 unwieldy and inconvenient.
