though very glaucous beneath, agree nearly with S. triandra, of 

 which species Mr. Sieber, who sent me specimens from Saltz- 

 burgh^ appears to think it a variety.

Leaves ovate-oblong, serrated, smooth; slightly rounded at 

 the base. Stamens three. Germen stalked, ovate, com-

Shrub. Mmj. 



Mr. Borrer, to whom I am obliged for first calling my attention to 

 this Willow, as distinct from the Linnsean S. triandra, observes 

 that the present is a shrub of more humble growth, being from 

 12 to 15 feet only in height. The leaves vary from 1} to 2^ 

 inches in length, and are in no respect linear, (their sides being 

 no where parallel,) but either truly ovate, or ovate-lanceolate, 

 with a very taper point 3 the under side light green, hardly 

 glaucous. In the catkins of either sort no remarkable difference 

 is to be found. Mr. Borrer has met with barren plants only ; 

 Mr. Holme noticed fertile ones also, but of the latter t have 

 not seen more than the leaves, which are narrower, and more 

 taper at the base, than the Sussex specimens, agreeing rather 

 better with Eln-hart's and Curtis's ; which two last may possibly 

 hereafter prove distinct from our Hoffmanniana, as they, doubt- 

 less, are from the real triandra. 



3. ^. lanceolata. Sharp-leaved Triandrous Willow. 



Leaves lanceolate, serrated, smooth ; tapering towards each 

 end. Footstalks decurrent. Germen stalked, ovate, 

 smooth. Style as long as the stigmas.
