iheir dlffin-ent forms being ihc chit f ])oint of distinrtion inditated, 

 and iinding no cliuracteristic marks in iny own authentic specimens, 

 I da not hesitate about uniting them. My plants of .S. oldfoUa 

 likewise, from the same source, offer no points of discrimination ; 

 though, like Sir James Smith, 1 have never seen the fertile catkins. 



32. S, aurila {round-eared Sallow), leaves obovate repaiido- 

 dentate rugose with veins more or less pubescent very downy 

 beneath their margins recurved tipped with a small recurved 

 point, stipules roundish seniicordate, germcns lanceolate-su- 

 bulate pedicellate silky, style very sliort, stigmas generally 

 entire. I^iglilf- p- (^02. E. B. t. 1487. 



Hab. \A'^oods and hedges, frequent. ¥1. May. \i . 



A small bushy tree, with straggling branches. May it not be, that in 



in a moister soil this vvoulil become S.dnerea? It is, however, 



decidedly more toothed, f:ir more veiny, and shorter in the leaves. 



The germcns of the two in my specimens are exactly similar, an.l 



longer than represented in E. B. 



33. S. rvpesiris {silky /?oCi^ 7r?7/o//'), leaves obovate approach- 

 ing to lanceolate subscrrated pubescent and subsilky beneath 

 veined, stipules small seniicorda,te, " germens pedicellate lan- 

 ceolato-subulate, stvle short, stigmas mostly entire," Sin^ 

 E.B.L23i2. 



Hab. Rocks on the mountains of Craig-Chaiiloch and Mael-Ghyrdy, 

 as well as near Aberfovle, ]\Ir. Boner. On the Clova mouiitains, 

 G. Don. Fl. May. \ . 



A trailing dei)ressed shrub ; probably a dwarf of one of tlie two pre- 

 ceding species. 



34. S. Andersoniana {green Mountain Sallow), leaves ellipti- 

 cal oblong acute faintly crenato-dentate the upper ones chiefly 

 subpubescent all glaucous beneath, stipules small subovate, 

 branches minutelv dovvnv, germens pedicellate linear-subulate, 

 glabrous, stvle elongated, stigmas bifid, scales fringed Vv'ith a 

 few long silky hairs. E. B. t. 2343. 



Hab. Scotland, in various parts, Sm. in E. B. Clova mountains, 

 G. Don. Fl. May. \i . 



A small tree or bush, differing from all tlie preceding species of thi^» 

 division in its glabrous germens. The leaves are all serrated, and 

 so glabrous that the plant might be looked for in the first division. 



35. S. Forsteri {glaucous Mountam Salloiu), "leaves ellip- 

 tical-obovate acute notched slightly downy glaucous beneath, 

 stipules vaulted, branches minutely downy, germen stalked 

 silkv, stigmas undivided," Sm. E. B. 1.2344. 



Hab. Obtained by Mr. T. F. Forster from Scotland. Fl. May. Tj . 



I presume the silkv germens will distinguish this plant (of which 1 

 have no specimens) from S. Andersoniana, with which it is com- 

 pared bv its author, on the one hand ; .and with S. hirta on fhe 

 other : like that turning black in drying, " but the hirta is a tree 

 vastly more hairv, vvith larger, flat, quite smooth stipules, its leave 

 heart-shaped at the base," Sm.
