caprea ; the presence of 5. cinerea is indicated by striae 
under the bark ; and S. viminalis in it is not in doubt. J.

Salix aurita x caprea. Burgenland, Austria : Leitha 
Gebirge, 9. v. 1926. — K. Rechinger. This may be right, 
considering the thin character of the pubescence, compared 
with that of S. caprea , and the small size of the leaves are 
also in its favour. The leaves would have afforded better 
proof, if they had been gathered in August or September, 
instead of on the 9th May. The striae are very feeble, 
sometimes absent from the twigs under the bark, but that is 
the case with British specimens. S. caprea has few or no 
striae, and seems to obliterate those of the 5. aurita parent.

Salix cinerea L. if. aquatica (Sm.)]. Wood, Cambridge 
Batch, Long Ashton, Bristol, N. Somerset, Mar. 28, June 15, 
1927. — Ida M. Roper. Leaves far too hair}' for the f. aquatica, 
according to Smith’s descriptions, and his specimens in the 
Linnean Herbarium. The leaves are ashen grey or glaucous 
beneath with a few short scattered hairs, or small tufts 
occasionally. I would name this S. caprea X cinerea. The 
lower leaves are broadly elliptic like S. caprea ; the upper 
ones more like S. cinerea, and all are tomentose beneath like 
S. caprea. A rare find and beautiful specimens. — J. Fraser. 
Salix caprea x grandifolia. Comb, supercaprea Toepffer. 
Lower Austria, by the stream between Knedelhof and Gscheid 
near Tiirnitz, June 19, 1926. — K. H. Rechinger. So far 
as these specimens are concerned, they are S. caprea X 
grandifolia var. attenuata Wimmer. The leaves are attenuate 
at both ends, whereas the var ..macrophylla Wimmer has the 
leaves rounded at the base. The leaves are rather densely 
pubescent for the var. attenuata, but the 19th of June was too 
early to gather them to show their proper character when 
mature. S. grandifolia varies immensely in the character 
of the leaves, and so does S. caprea on the Continent and in 
Britain, so that variations in the hybrid are to be expected.

Salix cinerea L., f. oleifolia (Sm.). By the Land Yeo, 
Wraxall, hi. Somerset, v.c. 6, Mar 24, Aug. 2, 1927. — Ida M. 
Roper. Most of the leaves are rather short to show this in 
its best form. Summer shoots would have shown this better. 
The few leaves that have attained the proper length show
