Luzon, ProAince of Rizal, Bosoboso (1987, 2139 Ahcrn:s collector) November, 
December, 1904, tlie former with staminate flowers, the latter with mature fruits. 
Blanco’s description of this species is very short and imperfect, and a transla- 
tion follows: 
Salix (err. typ. Sails) azaolana, Azaola’s willow. Leaves alternate, incised, 
serrate, attenuate at the apex, glabrous. Flowers dioecious. *Staminate 
flowers in aments. Calyx bifid. Stamens more than 12 (Azaola). Anthers 
globose. ■"■Pi.stillate flowers. Calyx as in the male. Achene one.=A tree, 
the trviik as thick as a man's body and- which is found along the margins of 
rivers in Calmnpit. (Province of Bulacan, Luzon.) Given to knowledge by 
P. TAanos. *Tiaun. 
Llanos, followed by F.-Villar, reduced this species to Salix tetraspernia. Ro.xb., 
(lie latter adding that he had seen s])ecimens sent to him by Llanos and also 
that he had seen living s])ecimens at Quingua, Province of Bulacan, Luzon. 
There is little doubt but that the specimens cited above represent Blanco’s 
sjiecies, althoiigh his description is very imperfect; so far the only one of the 
genus known from the Philipjiines and one not previoiisly collected except by 
Llanos and F.-Villar, no material of these early collections being preserved. 
Although Blanco cites Caluni])it as the locality from which his material came, 
it seems probable that it was only sent to him from that town, having been 
collected at some other locality. During a recent trip u]) the Pampanga River, 
a stop of several days was made at Calumpit, and a careful search failed to
