but generally wanting. The male catkins I have not feen. I prc- 

 fume them from analogy to have monadclphous flamina. The 

 females diftcr hut lirtle from the preceding, except in having rather 

 thicker, almoO: ovate, ftigmas. 



This fpecies appears to be but little known, though among the 

 moft valuable as an Ofier. The habit of the plant, figure and 

 length of its leaves, agree with the Common Ofier S. viminalis ; but 

 their bright green colour on both fides, and want of all pubeicence, 

 except when very young, render them eafily diftinguifhablc from 

 that fpecies, while their great length, linear form, and narrowncfs,, 

 and their colour being not at all glaucous, prevent their being con- 

 founded with S. fjfa. 



Specimens obligingly communicated by my friend Mr. Lambert, 

 V. P. L. S, from Mr. Hudfon's own herbarium, have removed ail 

 uncertainty as to its being his S. rubra. The name is lo(s appofite 

 than might have been wifhed: vircns or concolor would better have 

 expreiled the peculiar chara<Sler of the fpecies. Of the fynonym of 

 Ray there can be no doubt. That of Vaillant I learned from the 

 Sherardian herbarium.
