If we may presume to give an opinion on the many 

 variations of this aggregate, our observations would 

 prompt us to conclude that typical cinei'ea is most 

 frequently met with inland, and often in comparatively 

 dry situations ; while forms approaching /3. S. aquatica, 

 Sm. grow in great abundance throughout the alluvial 

 tracts near the Severn, the Channel, and elsewhere, 

 being more common than any other willow ; and that 

 ry. S. oh'ij'olia is not rare, having been gathered at the 

 Boiling Well and at llorfield in Gloucestershire, and 

 also at Clevedon and Clapton in Somerset. III. IV. 



710. S. aurita, L. 



Native ; in damp hedges and bushy places, rather local. 

 We have not met with it within some miles of Bristol.
