p- 201. A native of Switzerland. Introduced in ? 1824; flowering, in the 
willow garden at Woburn Abbey, in April. It is a bushy, upright-growing 
shrub, with yellow, round, pubescent branches, which are variously marked 
with small black spots. Bnds yellow, rather longer than in S. strépida. 
(Forbes.) Leaves from 2 in. to 24 in. long, and about 1 in. broad, of an 
elliptic-lanceolate shape, remotely serrated, the serratures furnished with 
glands; upper surface pubescent, but ultimately becoming nearly glabrous ; 
glaucous beneath, with a densely pubescent midrib. Footstalks nearly 
1in. long, slender. Catkins appearing before the leaves; all inclining 
towards one side of the branch; very numerous. The twigs are brittle, and 
unfit for basketwork. These are plants at Woburn, Flitwick, Henfield, and

2 127. S. ScHLEICHERIA‘NA Forbes. Schleicher’s Willow, or Sallow.

Engravings. Sal. Wob., No. 98.; and our fig. 98. in p. 1620. 
Spec. Char., §c. Leaves elliptic, acute, serrated, dark green ; villous above,

Style twice as long as the undivided ovate stigmas. Stipules half-ovate, 
serrated. (Sal. Wob., p. 195.) A native of Switzerland. Introduced in 1824; 
flowering in April and May. This species forms a very bushy head, attaining 
the height of 12 ft. or 15 ft., spreading obliquely, with round dark brown 
branches, copiously covered with a sort of pubescence when young, which 
continues, to a certain degree, on the preceding year’s shoots. Leaves 
from 14 in. to 2 in. long, elliptic, acute ; shining and villous on their upper 
surface; glaucous and hairy beneath; often contracted at the base; the 
young ones densely covered with long silky hairs, but losing their pubescence 
as they advance in age, and ultimately becoming almost glabrous. Footstalks 
slender, about 3 in. long. Catkins from 13 in. to 2 in. long, expanding with 
the leaves. There are plants at Woburn and Henfield; and also in the 
Goldworth and Hackney arboretums. 
% 128. S. GRISONE’NSIS Forbes. The Grisons Sallow, or Willow. 
Identification. Forbes in Sal, Wob., No. 99.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, glabrous; deep green, 
shining above; paler glaucous beneath. Stipules half-heart-shaped, toothed,

Style glabrous, longer than the cloven stigmas. (Sal. Wod., p. 197.) A native 
of the Grisons. Introduced in ? 1824, and flowering, in the willow garden 
at Woburn Abbey, in March and April. A shrub, much resembling S. Schlei- — 
cheridna in size and mode of growth; but the leaves are much longer, and 
likewise the catkins, by which it is readily distinguished from that species. 
The branches are brownish green, glabrous, and shining, after the first year; 
young ones reddish brown, pubescent, but becoming glabrous in autumn. 
Leaves from 2in. to 3in. long, elliptic-lanceolate; their breadth 1 in. or 
more; deep green, glabrous, and shining on their upper surface; glaucous and 
paler beneath; pubescent in their young state; their margins furnished with 
shallow serratures, entire towards their extremities. Footstalks 3 in. or
