Ebrhartian specimens, Willd. Sp. Pl., 4. p. 655.; ?S. No. 38., Trev. Obs. Bot., p. 18.; and, as a 
variety, S. lanceolata Smith Eng. Bot., t. 1436., according to an authentic English specimen. 
Hooker has deemed identical with S. undulata of his Br. F/., ed. 3., p. 419., the kinds now to be 
noticed: — S. lanceolata Smith Eng. Bot., t. 1436., Eng. Fl., and Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 14. 
“Dr, Meyler of Géttingen has sent me specimens of the S. undulata of Ehrh., compared with 
the Ehrhartian herbarium ; and Mr. Borrer is satisfied that they are identical with Smith’s S. 
lanceolata; at least, with the Sussex specimens communicated by Mr. Woollgar to him, and 
which are probably the same with the females figured in Eng. Bot. Indeed, that station (viz. near 
Lewes, in Sussex,) is the only one mentioned by Sir J. E. Smith as English. Mr. Borrer has 
received German specimens of S. undulata with silky germens; and these are probably the S. un-

Varieties. 
¥ x S.u. 2; S. undulata Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 13.—Mr. Forbes 
he treating it as a species ; and, as this character may serve to por- 
tray its main features, we retain it in application to it, viewed as a 
variety. Leaves linear-lanceolate, acuminate, somewhat attenuated 
towards the base; wavy, and sharply serrated at their margins. 
Ovary sessile, ovate, scarcely downy. Style about half the length 
of the linear parted stigmas. (Sal. Wob., p. 25.) Cultivated in the 
Dublin Botanic Garden, and flowering in April and May. It is an 
12 ft. high, with brown, smooth, round branches, slightly downy 
when young, and somewhat angular at the points. Catkins about 
lin. in length, bursting forth with the leaves. ‘“ This is a species 
very distinct from the above, which is considered to be the S. undu- 
lata of Ehrhart ; from which it is readily distinguished by long, 
taper-pointed, wavy leaves. I conceive it to be a foreign kind. 
I have not observed it in any collection but that contained in the 
Wob.) In relation*to this kind, Mr. Borrer has remarked in his 
list, that, “if S. undulata Forbes, and S. lanceolata Smith and Forbes, 
the S. undulata Hooker, are to be regarded as two species, the former 
agrees best with Ehrhart’s character of his S. undulata.” There 
are plants in the Hackney and Goldworth arboretums, and at Wo- 
burn Abbey, Henfield, and Flitwick House.

diagnosis of this kind :—Leaves lanceolate, serrated, glabrous, taper- 
ing towards each end. Footstalks decurrent. Ovary stalked, ovate, 
glabrous. Styles as long as the stigmas. (Smith Eng. Fl.) Smith 
has farther noted of its distinctive characters as follows :—“ Akin to 
S. triandra Lin. and S. Hoffmannidna Smith. An essential means of 
distinction exists in the leaves, which are longer and narrower than 
those of S. triandra, or any of its reputed varieties; more pointed
