1 . Salix rhamnifolia ; ramis glaberrimis, foliis obovatis subintegerrimis rigidis in petiolum 
perbrevem gracillimum attenuatis glabris supra nitidis quasi vernicosis subtiis glaucis, 
ameritis laxis, squamis brevibus vix pedicello longioribus lanatis, germinibus lanceolato- 
subulatis glabris obtusis, stylo brevi tenui, stigmatibus brevibus patentibus bipartitis. (Tab. 
XXNl.)~PalL FI. Boss. P. II. p. 84 ? Gmel. FI. Sib. v. 1. p. 159. t. 35. f. 1. A. ? 
The figiu’e of Gmelin, above quoted, sufficiently accords in foliage with our plant ; but his description 
scarcely suffices to enable us to say that the two are identical, and no other author appears acquainted with 
it: the stems and branches are erect, glabrous, dark brown. The leaves are about an inch long, truly obovate 
and remarkably attenuated at the base into a short petiole, scarcely at all toothed at the margin, mostly quite 
entire, and very glossy above, reticulated with prominent veins, opaque and glaucous beneath. Catkins 
longer than the leaves, peduncled, with lax, patent germens, whose scales are woolly, not longer than the 
pedicels. Style short, and, as it were, set upon the obtuse germen, which does not gradually taper into it. 
In many respects, the Salix pumila, ^c. of Gmel, FI. Sib. p. 160. t. 33. f. 2, agrees with this, especially in 
what he says of the catkins, and the glossiness and reticulation of the leaves.

2. Salix Forsferiana ? Sm. — Enffl. Bot. t. 2344. 
The scales and germens are more silky than in our British S. Forsteriana, otherwise the two plants seem 
to correspond.

In our specimens, the foliage is quite glabrous ; but they are assuredly the true plant of Pallas.

1 . Orchis latifolia. Linn? var. Beeringiana. Cham, in Linncea, v. 3. p. 26. 
This is probably, as Chamisso suspects, (who also found it in Kamtschatka,) a species distinct from the 
O. latifolia of Linnaeus. The petals are remarkably acuminated, and the habit is considerably different.
