female Catkin large, lateral, on a fruitstalk, with 1 or 2 leafits. 

 Caps, white with down. Fl. Ross. — The plant thus described by 

 Prof. Pallas is certainly the S. lanata of the Fl. suecica, but can- 

 not be the plant of Lightfoot, ii. 6©2 ; so that it is yet a doubt 

 whether the real S. lanata be a native with us or noj;. Mr. Light- 

 foot's description does not accord much better with[the S. glauca, 

 so that the plant found by Mr. Stuart at Finlarig still remains to 

 be ascertained.
