In dry shady woods ; New York to Pensylvanla. T2 . 
April, May. v. v. The native place of this willow 
is not mentioned by Willdenow ; 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 I 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. Tj . April, 
v.v. From three to five feet high j branches greenish- 
yellow, with black dots j 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 whether the vernatio is revo- 
lute j but their natural affinity to the preceding ones 
stron^y indicates that they are so,
