This, Smith tells us, has been considered a var. of the preceding ; but 

 both the leaves and the catkins are longer and narrower. I have 

 two states of this plant from Sir James Smith -. in one the /cores 

 are truly lanceolate, and the ger)nens as figured in E. B. ; the 

 other with the leaves as in E. B., but the germens nearly sessile, a 

 long style, and the scales with a beautifully silky fringe, which is 

 longer than the fruit. 



40. 8. stipularis {aurlclcd Osier), leaves lanceolate very indi- 

 stinctly crenate white and downy beneath, stipules large semi- 

 cordate acnte, " germens shortly pedicellate ovate downy, 

 style a little elongated, stigmas long awl-shaped recurved en- 

 tire, nectary cylindrical," Sm. £.B. /. 1214. 



Hab. Hedges and "woods, common, D. Don. Fl. March (Sm.). I7 . 

 Leaves 4 — 6 inches long, somewhat silky beneath. I have never seen 

 the flowers.
