88 THE BEITISH WILLOWS 



S. nigricans Sin. (as a nomen confusum), and to revive the name 

 S. Andersoniana Sm. in its stead. The "Synoptic Table of 

 Species and Hybrids" was recast, and the first eight pages were 

 reissued, showing this change of name with some of the conse- 

 quent changes of order ; but in the Caprece (pp. 5, 6) the order 

 was left as before to accord with the arrangement of the hybrids 

 in the body of the work. 



The name S. Andersoniana was given by Smith in honour of 

 George Anderson, in reference to whom and to Edward Forster, 

 after whom he named S. Forsteriana, he writes: "Two names more 

 dear than these, to the memory of their friends or to botany, can 

 scarcely be recorded in the history of science " (Eng. FL iv. 224). 



Note on S. Boydii (p. 38). 



Mr. W. Boyd, who discovered S. Boydii as a seedling plant in 

 Glen Fiagh, and has grown it and cuttings from it in his garden 

 at Faldonside, writes : " I have four or five plants, and none of 

 them are more than fourteen inches high, and very stiff in their 

 growth ; so, as they are seven or eight years old, I take it to be 

 full grown." 



This dwarf habit, which is also maintained in my own garden, 

 is a strong confirmation of the view that S. reticulata, which is of 

 a compact dwarf and rigid habit, is one of the parents of this very 

 distinct and remarkable hybrid. S. lapponum is of a lax habit, 

 unless growing on rocks, and in a peat bed in the garden attains 

 a height of about five feet.
