CHAP. CIII. SALICA CEH. SALIX. 1561 
Synonyme. S. uligindsa Willd. Enum., 1007. (Smith and Koch); the trailing Sallow, so called in 
Norfolk. (Smith E. F.) 
The Sexes. Both sexes are described in Eng. Fl., and figured in Eng. Bot., in Sal. Wob., and in 
Hayne Abbild. 2 
Engravings. Hoffm. Sal., 1. t. 4. f. 1., 2. t. 22. f.1.; Smith Lin. Fl. Lapp., t. 8. £y; Hayne Abbild., 
t.188.; Eng. Bot., t. 1487. ; Sal. Wob., No. 124. ; and our fig. 124. in p. 1626. 
Spec. Char., §c. Branches trailing. Leaves somewhat serrated, convex, obo- 
vate, obtuse, with a small hooked point; hairy, and reticulated with veins, on 
both sides. Stipules roundish, convex, toothed. Ovary silky, stalked. 
Stigmas nearly sessile. (Smith Eng. Fl.) A native of England, in moist 
woods and thickets; flowering in April and May. Stem bushy, usually 3 ft. 
or 4ft. high. “ Branches spreading, or trailing, either amongst other bushes, 
or on the ground, toa great extent. Leaves various in size, on short, stout, 
downy footstalks, obovate, generally lin. or 2in. long, more or less con- 
tracted towards the base, though sometimes rounded, or nearly ovate in 
that part: their termination is often remarkably obtuse or abrupt, with a 
broad, short, recurved, hooked, or oblique point; both sides hairy, and very 
rugged ; the upper side dark green, wrinkled like a cabbage leaf; under side 
paler, rather glaucous.” (Smith Eng. Fl.) _“ The Ieaves occasionally 
form permanent rosaceous tufts like those of S. Helix.” (Ibid.) There 
are male and female plants both at Woburn Abbey and in Messrs. Loddiges’s 
arboretum ; and from the latter we have received a specimen of S. ambigua, 
which seems to be S. aurita. 
Varieties. Koch and Smith have referred the S. uligindsa Willd. and S. aurita 
Willd. to the S. aurita L.; and Koch has thus contradistinguished the two 
former : — S. uligindsa Willd. Taller. Leaves obovate. S. aurita Willd. 
Dwarfer. Leaves roundish‘obovate, smaller by half. Mr. Forbes has noticed 
that a variety was growing in the Woburn plantations which was about 1 ft. 
or 1 ft. 6in. high, and had its leaves truly obovate. Koch has deemed the 
S. cladostémma Hayne Dendr. Fl., p. 191. and fig: B, Cc, a singular variety of 
S. aurita, and characterised it as having 2,3, or 4 stamens to a flower, and 
these with their filaments connate to beyond the middle. We have a spe- 
cimen obtained of Messrs. Loddiges, under the name of S. aurita micro- 
phylla, whose leaves are oblong, and do not look of the affinity of S. aurita, 
Smith judged (Flor. Brit. and Eng. Fl.) the S. caprea pumila, folio subro- 
tundo, subtus incano, of Dillenius in Rati Syn., to be a dwarf variety of S 
aurita; but Mr. Borrer has expressed, in Eng. Bot. Supp., t 2733., his 
opinion that this “ is probably a synonyme of S. ambigua.”

Identification. Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 118. 
The Sexes. The female is described and figured in Sal. Wob. 
Engravings. Sal. Wob., No. 118. ; and fig. 118. in p. 1625. 
Spec. Char., §c. Leaves broadly elliptic, distantly denticulated towards the 
base, and finely serrated towards the point. Stigmas half-moon-shaped, ser- 
rated, glabrous, and large. Capsules ovate, silky, and footstalked. Bractea 
ovate, hairy. Style about the length of the stigmas. (Sal. Wob., p. 235.) Na- 
tive country not stated. Flowering in March. A straggling plant, with strong, 
round, pubescent branches, which are of a brown fuscous colour, and be- 
come nearly glabrous towards the lower end in autumn. _ Leaves of a large 
elliptical form, a little heart-shaped and unequal at the base; above, green 
and shining ; beneath, glaucous, downy, and reticulated; the margins re- 
motely denticulated, and nearly entire towards the base ; finely serrated at the 
apex. Footstalks } in. long, and pubescent. Catkins nearly | in. long when at 
maturity. A kind quite distinct from every other of this section, and re- 
markable for the breadth of its leaves, which differ in texture from those of 
S. grisophylla, that are also broad. There are plants at Woburn, Henfield, 
and in the Goldworth Arboretum.
