The Sexes. The female is described in Eng. Fl., and figured in Eng. Bot., where the style is repre- 
sented too short (Smith Eng. Fl.); and in Sal, Wob. 
Engravings. Eng. Bot., t. 2344.; Sal. Wob., No. 110.; and our jig. 110. in p. 1623. 
Spec. Char., §c. Stem erect. Branches minutely downy. Leaves elliptic- 
obovate, acute, crenate, slightly downy, glaucous beneath. Stipules vaulted. 
Ovary stalked, awl-shaped, silky. Style as long as the blunt notched stig- 
mas. (Smith Eng. Fl.) A native of Britain, in Scotland, on the Breadal- 
bane Mountains ; and flowering in May. Taller than S, Andersoniana, and 
forming a small tree, with finely downy branches. Leaves larger and firmer 
than those of S. Andersonidna; their upper surface of a darker or duller 
green, though more polished, scarcely downy, except the midrib and veins ; 
glaucous beneath, and finely veiny, with more downiness; their length 2 in. 
or 3in.; the margin crenate, rather serrated ; the young ones very densely 
silky, in the manner of the foregoing. Footstalks downy. Catkins of the 
female 1 in. long when in full bloom, and more than twice as much when the 
seeds are ripe. (Jdid.) In the Woburn collection there are three varieties of 
this species. The one described drops its leaves much earlier than either 
S. Andersonidna or S. rupéstris, and is, according to Mr. Forbes, quite dis- 
tinct. There are plants at Woburn and Henfield ; also in the Goldworth 
and Hackney arboretums.

Spec. Char.,c. Stem trailing. Leaves obovate, acute, serrated, flat, even, 
silky on both sides. Stipules hairy. Branches minutely downy. Ovary 
stalked, awl-shaped, silky. Style as long as the blunt undivided stigmas. 
(Smith Eng. Fl.) A native of Scotland, in woods and on the banks of 
rivers ; and flowering in April. Stems trailing or depressed, with dark- 
coloured branches, covered with very fine down when young. Leaves about 
1 in. long, obovate or elliptical, acute, even and flat, veiny, but not wrinkled ; 
finely and regularly serrated, beautifully silky with depressed hairs; more 
especially beneath, and when young. Footstalks downy, in the manner of 
the branches. Catkins appearing rather before the leaves, 3 in. long; those 
of the female soon becoming thrice that length, and more lax. A perfectly 
distinct kind. The branches are tough, and suitable for tying and basket- 
work, There are plants at Woburn, Henfield, and Flitwick ; and also in the 
Hackney and Goldworth arboretums. 
2 120. S. reENuIro‘LIA L. The thin-leaved Willow. 
Identification. Lin. Fi). Lapp., ed. 2., 292. t. 8. f. c. (Smith.) The figure in that work represents 
only a floral leaf, and that unlike any that we have seen in our plant. (Borrer in Eng. Bot. Suppl.)

Smith Fl. Br. in the living plant, I think he would have referred it to his own S. phylicifdlia.”’ 
(Borrer in a letter.) S. tenuifdlia of Eng. Bot., t. 2186., is S bicolor Hook. Br. Fl.

Spec. Char., §c. Upright. Young shoots and petioles densely pubescent. Disks 
of leaves elliptical or oblong, flat, with a recurved point, crenate, reticulated 
with sunken veins, slightly hairy; glaucous beneath. Stipules half-heart- 
shaped. Catkins on a short stalk that bears small leaves. Bractea oblong, 
shaggy. Ovary glabrous, on a glabrous stalk. Style as long as the stigmas. A 
link between the Salices nigricintes and Salices bicolores of Hook. Br. F1., 
most allied, perhaps, to the former ; and, indeed, so nearly to S. rupéstris, that 
we cannot undertake to point out satisfactory distinctions. (Borrer in E. B. 
Suppl.) A native of England, above the bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale. The fol® 
lowing are some of the features of the kind, as it is described by Mr. Borrer: — 
“ A much-branched spreading shrub, 10 ft. or 12 ft. high. Twigs very downy
