yellow spots, and are very brittle. The leaves are from 14 in. to 2 in. long, 
and nearly 14in. in breadth, when fully grown; of an ovate, or somewhat 
heart-like, shape at their base, and oblique at their tip. Upper surface 
_ dark green and shining: underneath, veiny, minutely hairy, and glaucous. 
Footstalks nearly 1 in. long, dilated at the base, and downy. This species, 
although it bears some resemblance to S. rivularis, is yet very distinct. The 
young shoots are brittle, and not adapted for basketwork.

duced in ? 1825, and flowering in March. This is a low-growing bushy 
shrub, attaining to the height of 7 ft. or 8 ft., with round pubescent branches, 
of a pale green colour, remotely marked with yellow spots. Leaves about 
2 in. long, elliptic-obovate, acute ; margins denticulated, crisped ; upper sur- 
face of a dull shining green, besprinkled with minute appressed hairs ; 
glaucous beneath, pubescent, with a prominent midrib, and with arched hairy 
veins ; the substance of the leaves of a thick leathery texture. Footstalks 
stoutish and yellow. Catkins nearly 1 in. long, densely downy before they 
are expanded. There are plants at Woburn, Flitwick, and Hackney.

The Sexes. Smith has described both sexes in Eng. Fl. ; the female from Lapland specimens: the 
male is figured in Eng. Bot. and Sal. Wob. The S. nigréscens Schi., female, is figured in Sal. Wob., 
as the female of S. nigricans Smith. It does not appear that the flowers of the female have been 
found wild in Britain. (Hook. Br. Fl., ed. 2.)

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves elliptic-lanceolate, acute, crenate; glabrous, with a 
downy rib above; glaucous beneath. Stamens 2, thrice the length of the 
hairy bractea. Ovary lanceolate, downy, on a short downy stalk. (Smith 
Eng. Fl.) The male plant is a native of Britain, in fens, osier grounds, 
woods, and thickets. The female plant in the Woburn collection is the 
S. nigréscens of Schleicher, which was introduced about 1825, or before. 
The male plant in the Woburn collection forms a large bushy shrub, 
scarcely attaining the height or form of a tree, with upright, round, stout, 
rather brittle branches, glabrous, except when young. The catkins appear 
in April, much earlier than the foliage; and those of the males, when full 
grown, are IZ in. long. The leaves are from 1] in. to 14 in. broad, and from 
4in. to 5in. long. According to Smith, S. nigricans is of no use in the arts. 
There are plants at Woburn, Flitwick, Henfield, and Hackney.
