April, May. v. v. The native place of this willow 
is not mentioned by Willdenow j but a plant in the 
collection of G. Anderson, Esq. which was found 
among a promiscuous collection of willows made by 
me on the Catskill mountains, New York, decides the 
question. To this gentleman’s acute observations 1 am 
indebted for the present division of Salices vernatio 
revoluta ,” as likewise for the greater part of the pre- 
sent arrangement of American willows.

In shady dry woods : New York to Virginia, I? . April. 
v. v From three to five feet high j branches greenish- 
yellow, with black dots $ the anthers are purple, 
changing to yellow when burst ; scales white with 
a red tip, which gives the catkins a very pleasing ap- 
pearance. In this and the following species I have not 
been able to ascertain whether the vernatio is revo- 
lute ■, but their natural affinity to the preceding ones 
strongly indicates that they are so.
