OBSERVATIONS ON WiLLOWS. 311 



right ; but as to No. 84, S. peiraa, there is great doubt. Mr. Borrer 

 thought the styles like S. petraa ; but as the leaves in authentic speci- 

 mens of S. petr(^a turn black in drying, this cannot be the same 

 species." 



75. " Utrura Salicis nigricantis an S. phylicifolia forma vix dijudi- 

 candum. Mihi 'S'.j^;%Zici/b//« videtur." Obs. I never saw any but dried 

 specimens of S. propinqua. In the form of its leaves and shape of its 

 catkins this plant resembles S. Forsteriana, which I had not seen when 

 this collection was published. Dr. A., like myself, appears to fmd it 

 difficult sometimes to decide whether a plant is one of the nigricantes 

 or bicolores. Mr. Ward: " I think I called this S. Forsteriana when 

 I first got it, and, as you remark, it comes near it. The leaves appear 

 smaller than the E. Bot. fig. Still it may be S. Forsteriana^ 



76. '' S. phylicifoUa, L., rotundifoliaT Obs. The leaves are very 

 like S. Wulfeniana, Forbes Salict. Wob. No. 48. Mr. Ward : " S. 

 Weigeliana, E. Bot. Dr. A.'s remarks here are correct." 



77. " 5. phylicifoUa, L." Obs. Dr. A. is no doubt right if S. phy- 

 licifoUa is defined so as to include most of our bicolors. I think this 

 is S. Weigeliana. Mr. Ward: " S. Weigeliana, E. Bot." 



78. No remark by Dr. A. Obs. This closely resembles quoad folia, 

 S. Weigeliana, Salict. Wob. 



79. " S. phylicifoUa, L." Mr. Watson observes, " Perhaps the 

 name may be intended also to apply to No. 78." Mr. Ward: " S. 

 Weigeliana, Forbes, but with more wavy serratures. May not No. 70 

 be the male of this ? I think it very probable. They are both grow- 

 ing on the banks of the Swale." 



80-85 inclusive. " S. phylicifoUa, L.," written by Dr. A. to all these. 

 Obs, 80. S. Croweana, Sm. ; 81, leaves larger and broader than in 

 my Croweana from Mr. Borrer ; 82, S. nitens, I think ; 83, no doubt 

 S. Croweana. Mr. Ward: "80. S. Croweana, Sm., the true plant ; 

 81. S. Crotceana, with broader leaves." 84. Obs. See remarks on 

 No. 74. 85. Obs. Germens more silky than in S. tetrapla, from 

 Borrer, and the leaves broader. Mr. Ward : " This may vary from 

 yours, yet I think it will be right." 



86-89 inclusive. " -S*. repens, L.," written to all by Dr. A. Obs. 

 No doubt S. repens, L., includes them all. Mr. Ward : " S. repens, 

 L., and its varieties."
