651. S. cinerea, i. Common Sallow. 



Native ; in damp places in copses and woods, by streams, in waste 



bushy spots, and in hedges. Very common. March, April. 



Area general. 



Undoubtedly the commonest species of the genus. It is very frequent 



in the river valleys of Dartmoor, and although it prefers damp situations, 



yet it sometimes occurs in very dry spots, such as on rocky banks, or even 



wall-tops, readily springing from seed in such places. 



On a bank at Crabtree (District iv.) I have seen a bush producing both 

 pistillate and staminate flowers : some catkins were composed entirely of 

 the one, and some entirely of the other ; many had the two intermixed, 

 with other flowers of intermediate character. On a hedge-bank near 

 Kingsand village (District ii. ) the var. c. oleifolia, or a form near it.
