I20 Dr. Smith's Remarks on 



exifted no fpecific difference between the two. The leaves however 

 will fufficiently ferve to difcriminate them. Tliofe of S. amygdal'ina 

 are (horter, fcarcely 2 inches long, of a broadifti ovate figure rounded 

 at the bafe, by no means linear; they are moreover oblique, the 

 width of the two fides being unequal. The ftipulse are remarkably 

 large, varying from a roundilhto an half-heartftiaped form, crenate, 

 deciduous. Female flowers and capfules much like thofe of ihe laft 

 fpecies.

The fweet or bay-leaved Willow is fufficiently well known by its 

 broad odoriferous leaves, whofe ferratures exude a copious yellow 

 refin, and its numerous ftamina, which are commonly about 5 to 

 each flower. We have only to remark that the variety ^ of Fl. 

 Suevica feems to be a diftinft fpecies, not yet found in England.
