          for this variety or species
 which ever it is.


 It is very rare here, 
 flowers ten days later
 than S. cordata [Salix cordata] and has
 somewhat the appearance
 of being a hybrid
 lucido-cordata


 I would appreciate
 as a great favor
 any information
 you may give me
 in this matter.


 I am sir very respectfully


 Your obedient servant
