1596 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART Ili. 
Group xxv. Miscelldnee B. 
Kinds of Salix introduced, and of many of which there are Plants at Messrs. 
Loddiges’s, but which we have not been able to refer to any of the preceding 
Groups. 
_Several of the names in this group are Schleicher’s, Koch’s estimate of which we have already 
given in p. 1486. Many of the others are probably of kinds described as belonging to preeeding groups ; 
because, when the salicturn at Woburn was planted, the entire collection of Messrs. Loddiges, as it 
existed in 1827, was included. We have, however, given the names and descriptions below, that 
nothing might be wanting to render our article on Salix as complete as the nature of the recorded 
information on that genus will admit. ‘ 
% 171. S. ALBE’scENS Schl. The whitish-/eaved Willow. 
Identification. Schleicher Cat. ; Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836. 
Synonyme. 8S. stylosa x Dec.

Engravings. Hoffm. Sal., t. 17, 18, 19.; Hayne Abbild., t. 116. 
Spec. Char.,&c. Leaves oblong-elliptic, acute, serrated, glabrous, glaucous beneath. Stipules ovate, 
permanent, toothed. Catkins about 1 in. long, with elliptic, obtuse, hairy scales ; appearing before 
the leaves, (Smith, adapted.) A tree with brown branches, downy when young; a native of the 
Salzburg and Carinthian Alps. According to Hort. Brit., it was introduced from Austria in 1821. 
* 174. S. ancusta'ta Pursh. The taper-leaved American Willow. 
Identification. Pursh Fl. Amer. Sept., No. 21.; Smith in Rees’s Cyclo., No. 27. 
Spec. Char., &§c. Leaves lanceolate, acute, very long, gradually tapering at the base, fineiy serrated, 
quite glabrous, scarcely paler beneath. Stipules half-heart-shaped. Catkins erect, smoothish, 
appearing before the leaves. (Pursh.) A low tree, found in shady woods on the banks of rivers, 
in New York and Pennsylvania; flowering in March. It has very long leaves, and resembles 
S. prindides. (Iéid.) Introduced in 1811.

Engraving. N. Du Ham., 3. t. 29. 
Spec. Char., &c. Leaves linear, very narrow, without stipules, nearly entire, ovate at the base, 
hoary above, silky beneath. (Wilid. and Smith.) A low shrub, a native of the country near the 
Caspian Sea. Branches brown. Pallas’s plant is said to be glabrous, otherwise his description 
agrees with that given by Willdenow. (Ibid,) Introduced in 1825. : 
?% 176. S. BETU‘LINA Host. The Birch-like Willow. 
Identification. Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836. 
Description, &c. This seems to belong to the group Cinérex. There are living plants in the Hack- 
ney arboretum, the leaves of which are too long and too narrow to bear much resemblance to these 
of any kind of Bétula; so that the name probably refers to some other part of the plant. 
? % 177. S.canpi/puLA Host. The whitish Willow. 
Identification. Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836. 
Description, &c. Leaves in form somewhat resembling those of anelm, Apparently belonging to 
the group Cinéree. There were living plants in the Hackney arboretum, and in the Botanic Gar- 
den at Cambridge, in 1836. d

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, acute, 2in. or Sin. long; glabrous and shining above, 
white and downy beneath; young leaves hoary on the upper side. Capsules ovate, sessile, 
downy. There are plants under this name in the Hackney arboretum, which appear to belong to 
the group Cintree Borr., p. 1553.; and are totally different from S, canéscens Wiélld., No. 67. 
in p. 1546, which belongs to the group Glatice Borr., p. 1545.
