Engravings. Sal. Wob., No. 116. ; and our fig. 116. in p. 1624. 
Spec. Char., Se, Leaves elliptical, serrated; dull green and villous above; 
glaucous, reticulated, and pubescent beneath. Stipules half-heart-shaped, 
serrated, often cloven. Ovary stalked, awl-shaped, glabrous. Style twice 
the length of the ovate notched stigmas. (Sa/, Wod., p.231.) A native of 
Switzerland. Introduced in 1824, and flowering in March. A straggling- 
growing shrub, with round, dark, villous, pendulous branches, greyish brown 
when young, and thickly covered with a short pubescence, which continues 
on the preceding year’s shoots. Leaves serrated, elliptical ; dull green, vil- 
lous above ; glaucous, pubescent, and reticulated with prominent. veins be- 
neath ; entire at the base, with short oblique points. Footstalks brown above, 
pale and downy beneath, like the midrib. Catkins from 1 in. to 14 in. long. 
Readily distinguished from S. crassifolia by its pendulous branches and bushy 
mode of growth. There are plants at Woburn, Henfield, and Flitwick ; 
also in the Hackney and Goldworth arboretums.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves ovate-elliptica!, often heart-shaped at the base, point-

pules half-heart-shaped, serrated. Ovary ovate lanceolate, glabrous. Style 
longer than the obtuse stigmas. (Sal. Wod., p. 229.) A foreign species ; 
but the date of its introduction is not stated. It flowers, in the Woburn col- 
lection, in April and May. A bushy shrub, about 9 ft. or 10 ft. high, with 
dark green downy branches, very soft to the touch when young. Leaves 
from lin. to 14 in. broad, distinctly and bluntly serrated ; the serratures 
somewhat glandular; upper surface dark green, shining, and pubescent ; 
beneath, glaucous, veiny, and reticulated with many prominent veins: the 
substance of the leaves is thick, and rather coriaceous. Footstalks stout, 
downy, dilated at the base. Catkins appearing before the leaves; at first 
short, but ultimately 2in. long. Nearly allied to S. cotinifolia; but differing 
from it in the thickness and downiness of its leaves, as well as im its obtuse 
stigmas and nectary. It also grows much stronger, and the branches are 
more brittle. ,There are plants at Woburn and Flitwick ; also in the Hack- 
ney arboretum.
