Only known, as a British plant, from “a specimen, in Edinburgh University Herbarium, labelled ‘ Salix cinerea , Car- 
lowrie, 1838,’ by, I think, J. H. Balfour” (White loc. cit.). Carlowrie is near Edinburgh, near which city S. lapponum 
formerly occurred as an introduced plant. 
Northern Sweden, Germany, and northern Russia. 
■S', herbacea x lapponum Floderus in Bih. Sv. Akad. Handl. xvii, iii, i, 41 (1891); A. et G. Camus 
Classif. Said, ii, 249 (1905) including S. herbacea x phylicifolia p. 179 et p. 181, et S. herbacea x nigricans p. 194, 
et S. herbacea x repens p. 206, et S. myrsinites x reticulata p. 262; Enander Sched. Sal. Scand. 15 — 27 (1911). 
In the treatment of this hybrid, we follow Enander, the eminent Swedish Salicologist. Numerous forms of the putative 
hybrid in question are described by Enander (loc. cit.) ; and he has also issued a very beautiful and convincing set of 
specimens which illustrate his position. These specimens may be seen in the herbarium at Kew. However, as Enander’s 
views differ considerably from those usually expressed by British authorities, we retain, as hybrid-forms, a number of plants 
which Enander refers to N. herbacea x lapponum , but which have been otherwise described by British botanists. There should 
therefore be little difficulty in relating the commonly accepted British opinions with those here put forward. 
Almost every possible intermediate appears to occur between the alleged parents ; and it seems therefore more useful 
to describe separately the named British forms than to give a generalised and vague description of the whole series of putative 
hybrids.
