large, semi-cordate. Bark flaking. Twigs terete. h. 20ft. Arctic 
Euro) e (Britain) and North Asia. (Sy. En. B. 1313.) SYN. 
S. Villarsiana. The following varieties were formerly regarded 
as distinct species : 3 
S. t. — (Almond-like). J. rounded at the broad base, 
glaucous beneath. Twigs furrowed.. 
S. t. Hoffmanniana (Hoffmann’s). l. broader at base than in the 
type, green beneath. Twigs terete. 
S. Villarsiana (Villars’). A synonym of S. triandra. 
S. viminalis (twiggy). Osier. fl., catkins golden-yellow, ses- 
sile, łin. to lin. long, opening long before the leaves; scales 
brown, oblong. April to June. J. linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 
fin. to l0in. long, narrowed into the petioles, reticulated above, 
silvery-silky beneath, the margins revolute, quite entire. Branches 
long and straight, the zoune ones silky, the adults polished. 
h, 30ft. Europe (Britain). Shrub or small tree. See Fig. 407. 
- (Sy. En. B. 1322.) S. Smithiana and S. stipularis are supposed 
to be hybrids between this species and S. Caprea or, in the 
latter, S. cinerea, Both closely resemble S. viminalis. 
S. viridis (green). /l., catkins on short, leafy, lateral branches, 
spreading or recurved, cylindrical, dense in flower, lax in fruit, 
May and June. J. narrowly lanceolate-elliptic, attenuated at 
base and long-acuminate at apex, or equally attenuated at each 
end, glandular-serrated, glabrous on both sides when mature ; 
young ones silky. Young branches downy. A. 30ft. Europe 
(Britain). (Sy. En. B, 1808.) Syn. S. Russelliana, 
SALLOW. A common name for several species of 
Salix, notably 8. Caprea. 
SALLOW THORN. See Hippophae. 
zi EA (named in honour of Prince Charles of 
Sålm-Dyck, in Holland, an enthusiastic cultivator of 
plants). Syn. Hopkirkia. OrD. Composite. A genus 
comprising about a dozen species of erect, sarmentose, or 
climbing, stove shrubs, inhabiting Mexico and the West 
Indies. Flower-heads white, rather small, discoid; in- 
volucre short, turbinate or campanulate, the bracts few- 
seriate, imbricated; receptacle conical or elongated ; 
achenes laterally compressed; cymes corymbose, forming 
a pyramidal panicle at the tips of the branches. Leaves 
opposite, petiolate, entire or toothed. The two species 
described below are pretty plants, and thrive in a light, 
‘rich soil. They may be readily increased by cuttings of 
the young wood, inserted in sand, under a glass, in heat. 
S. hirsuta (hairy). M. hedds ternately sub-sessile, oblong, in 
trichotomous corymbs; involucre two or three-seriate. August. 
l. 3in. to 5in. long, ovate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, denti- 
culate-repand or sub-entire, scabrous-hispidulous above, villous- 
tomentose beneath. Branches villous-pubescent. Jamaica, 1823.

S. scandens (climbing) fl.-heads hemispherical. June. l. ovate, 
acuminate, sub-entire, glabrous. Stem climbing, and, as well as 
the branches, smoo the apex. A. 6ft. Vera Cruz, 
1820. (B. M. ;

SALPICHROA (from salpinz, a tube, and chroos,

Syns. Busbeckea, Salpichroma. ORD. Solanacee. A genus 
consisting of about ten species of stove or greenhouse - 
herbs, sub-shrubs or shrubs, natives of extra-tropical 
South America or the Andes. Flowers white or yellow, 
sometimes 2in. to 3in. long; calyx five-fid or five-parted ; 
corolla long, tubular or urceolate, the lobes five, acute, in- 
duplicate-valvate, often short, erect or spreading ; stamens 
affixed above the middle of the tube; pedicels solitary. 
Leaves entire, rather long-petiolate, often rather small. 
8. glandulosa, the only species introduced, is a stove 
shrub, requiring culture similar to Juanulloa (which see). 
S. glandulosa (glandular). M. yellow; corolla eighteen to nine- 
teen lines long, the throat nearly din. in e: cles 
filiform, nodding at apex. July. l. twin, long-petiolate, cordate- 
ovate, seven to eleven lines long, glandular-pubescent, often 
chit bh Stem sub-erect, much branched. A. 2ft.

SALPIGLOSSIS (from salpinx, a tube, and glossis, 
a tongue; in allusion -to the tongue-like style in the 
mouth of the corolla). Orp. Solanacew. A small genus 
(two or three closely-related species) of greenhouse or 
hardy, annual, biennial, or perennial, viscous-pubescent 
herbs, natives of Chili. Flowers few, rather long- 
pedicellate, often rather large; calyx tubular, five-fid; 
corolla obliquely funnel-shaped, the throat ample, cam- 
panulate; lobes five, plicate, emarginate, erecto-patent ; 
perfect stamens four, included. Leaves entire, sinuate- 
toothed, or pinnatifid. S. sinuata, the species known in 
gardens, is a very ornamental and useful border plant ; 
it requires culture similar to Schizanthus (which see).

corolla usually 1jin. long. Summer. l, lower ones petiolate, 
elliptic-oblong, sinuate-toothed or pinnatifid ; — ones more 
entire; bracts sessile, quite entire. A. 2ft. 1820. A sub-erect, 
branched, viscous-pubescent, greenhouse or hardy annual, See 
Fig. 408. It is known in gardens by the followin names : 
S. atropurpurea (B. M. 2811; B. R. 1618; S. B. F. G. 271), S. Bar- 
clayana (S. B. F. G. ser. ii. 112), S. picta (B. M. 3365; L. B. C.

coccinea (L. & P. F. G. iii. 100) and flava (G. M. B. i. p. 57
