250 ENGLISH BOTANY. 



separate it from S. repens, of -wliicli it is probably merely a variety, 

 as Dr. Wimmor considers it. The larjre leaves driven on the orig-inal 

 plate, Engl. l>ot. ed. i. 13GG, have clearly nothing to do with the plant 

 fignred. 



AVimmer refers the S. rosmarinifolia of " English Botany, 1365," to 

 S. viminalis-repens, Lasch., which he considers the true rosmarinifolia 

 of Linnrcus. This is the S. Friesiana of Anderson. It differs from 

 our plant in its narrower leaves, with the margins more revolute when 

 young; it has also longer oblong catkins, subsessile capsules, and, 

 according to Anderson, a more or less evident style, though Wimmer 

 describes a form with the style obliterated. ,•

Capsule more or less compressed, sessile; style long; stigmas 

 entire. 



Shrubs with strigose-pilose branches and broad woolly leaves, or trees 

 with purple pruinose branches, and leaves like those of S. alba or 

 S. undulata, but differing from these species by their sessile catkins, 

 black-tipped catkin-scales, and 2 stamens.

Branches flaccid, violet, with a pruinose bloom, glabrous. Leaves 

 narrowly elliptical-strapshaped or linear-elliptical, wedgeshaped at the 

 base, longly acuminate and very acute, very finely callous-serrate, 

 glabrous and green on both sides, but paler beneath, reticulate-veined 

 when dry. Stipules lanceolate, acuminate. Catkins appearing before 

 the leaves, sessile, without leaves at the base, oval-oblong, dense. 

 Catkin- scales triangular, acuminated, very acute, dense, pilose, with 

 very long straight white silky hairs. Stamens 2 ; filaments free, 

 glabrous. " Capsule ovate-conical, glabrous, sessile ; style elongate ; 

 stigmas linear-oblong." ( Koch. ) Young branches and leaves glabrous ; 

 the latter with minute white dots on the upper side.
