 this group. Salix rugosa, as said already, I prefer to place under 

 velutina, though often passing into sericans. Some states of

 same as Eng. Bot. Sup. t. 2665, but I cannot say that I see the 

 resemblance. Andersson said of it that it was nearest to 

 S. holosericea, Willd., and it seems to be very close to if not 

 identical with velutina. 



Many of the plants called ferruginea by English botanists 

 have the leaves densely hairy below, and, apart from the other 

 differences which they display, cannot well be the same as the 

 plant defined by Borrer as minutely hairy.

in one locality (in. Perthshire) only. Here it has all tbe 



appearance ot being a natural hybrid between 8. viminalis and 

 8. cinerea, since 8. aurita does not occur iu the immediate neigh- 

 bourhood. I suspect that here, therefore, it is really a hybrid 

 between viminalis and cinerea, with a greater proportion of the 

 latter than of the former in it; and that, since the common 

 British form of 8. cinerea is unlike the common Continental 

 form, ferruginea has not been so readily recognized as a state of 

 8. cinerea x 8. viminalis.
