SAZiZX Tournefort. Willow, Sallow. 



This was a pet genus with the last generation of botanists, and has been 

 overdone. A large proportion of the varieties noted are um-ecognisable, 

 and at present it would be useless to attempt to indicate, in many cases, 

 what plant was really observed. There is also much difficulty is dis- 

 tinguishing the native from the cultivated forms. More careful work is 

 needed, and notes to be of any value, should be fortified by satisfactory 

 specimens.
