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 Catskili 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. Pj . 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 j 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 w'hether the vernatio is revo- 
lute ; but their natural affinity to the preceding ones 
strongly indicates that they are so.
