base; the margins deeply serrated, and furnished with glands, a little wavy ; 
upper surface shining and downy; under one glaucous, and besprinkled 
with small appressed hairs. Ovary ovate-subulate, glabrous. Style 
longer than the divided stigmas. (Sa/. Wob., p. 283.) A native of Germany. 
Introduced in 1824, and flowering in March and April. A small bushy 
tree, with round villous branches, of a sooty brown colour. Buds hairy. 
Leaves from 1 in. to 14 in. long, of an ovate shape, deeply serrated, and 
somewhat wavy; unequal, and a little heart-shaped at the base; more 
or less downy on both sides, especially the midrib and veins, with minute 
hairs; beneath, glaucous. Footstalks downy. Catkins lin. long. This 
species resembles, in leaves and mode of growth, S. rotundata; but is a 
very distinct kind, having the leaves more oblong and undulated. There 
are plants at Woburn, and in the Hackney arboretum.

glaucous, reticulated, and slightly hairy beneath. Stipules rounded, ser-

length of the parted stigmas. (Sal. Wob., p. 207.) Anative of Switzerland. 
Introduced in ?1824, and flowering, in the willow garden at Woburn Abbey, 
in April and May. An upright-growing shrub or low tree, attaining the 
height of 15 ft. or more; the preceding year’s branches of a brownish green 
colour, marked with several yellow spots, and retaining their pubescence; 
very brittle; the young twigs round, densely hairy, and copiously covered 
with leaves. Leaves orbicular, somewhat heart-shaped at the base when 
fully grown, bluntly serrated ; glabrous and shining above; glaucous, reticu- 
lated, and very minutely hairy beneath, becoming almost glabrous when at 
maturity. Footstalks stout, and densely downy. Catkins of the male 
nearly lin. long. The roundness of the leaves renders this a very distinct 
species. There are plants at Woburn, Henfield, and Goldworth.

(Sal. Wob., p. 209.) A rapid-growing tree, flowering, in the willow garden 
at Woburn Abbey, in April and May; with dark brown, glabrous, round 
branches; the young ones reddish, and thickly covered with short white 
hairs, which disappear towards ‘autumn ; forming a bushy head, with long 
oblique twigs. The leaves are nearly 2 in. long,and 14in. in breadth; of 
an elliptical-roundish shape, obtuse and somewhat heart-shaped at the base, 
with blunt oblique points; green, villous, and shining above ; glaucous and 
pubescent beneath, becoming nearly glabrous in autumn; their margins 
deeply toothed, the teeth furnished with glands, which are very conspicuqus 
in the young leaves. Footstalks rather short, stout, and downy. Catkins 
about Zin. long. A very distinct species; and, though of very rapid and 
vigorous growth, unfit, from the brittleness of its branches, for prey “tg 
There are plants at Woburn, Henfield, and Flitwick, and also in the Hack- 
ney and Goldworth arboretums.
