serrated, 2in. to 4in. long, glaliroiis, j^laiicous beneath ; stipules 

 large, semi-cordate. Bark flaking. Twigs terete, k. 20ft. Arctic 

 Europe (Britain) and North Asia. (Sy. En. B. 1313.) Syn. 

 S. Villarsiana. The following varieties were formerly regarded 

 as distinct species : 



S. t. amygdalina (Almond-like). I. rounded at the broad base, 

 glaucous bent-ath. Twigs furmwed. 



S, t. Hoffxnanniana (Hoffmann's). I. broader at base than in the 

 type, green beneath. Twigs terete. 



S. ViUarsiana (Villars). A synonym of S. triandm. 



S. Viminalis (twiggy). Osier. fl., catkins golden-yellow, ses- 

 sile, iin. tu lin. long, opening long before the leaves ; scales 

 brown, oblong. April to June. I. linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 

 4in. to lOin. long, narrowed into the petioles, reticulated above, 

 silvery-silky beneath, the margins revolute, quite entire. Branches 

 long and straight, the young ones silky, the adults polished. 

 h. 30ft. Europe (Britain). Shrub or .small tree. See Fig. 407. 

 (Sy. En. B. 1322.) S. Smitftiana and .S'. stipularif are supposed 

 to be hybrids between this species and S. Caprea or, in the 

 latter, 6'. cinerea. Both closely resemble 'S'. viminalis. 



S. viridis (green). _rf., catkins on short, leafy, lateral branches, 

 spreailiiig (ir recurved, cylindrical, dense in flower, lax in fruit. 

 May and June. I. narrowly lanceolate-elHptic, attenuated at 

 ba^e anil Inng-acuniinate at apex, or equally attenuated at each 

 end, glamlular-serrated, glabrous on both sides when mature ; 

 young ones silky. Young branches downy, k. 30ft. Europe 

 (Britain). (Sy. En. B. 1808.) 8y.\. S. Ru^tiellmna.

SALMEA (named in honour of Prince Charles of 

 Salm-Dyok, in Holland, an enthusiastic cultivator of 

 plants). Stn. HopJiirkia. Ord. Compositce. A genus 

 comprising' about a dozen species of erect, sarmentose, or 

 climbing", stove shrubs, inhabiting Mexico and the West 

 Indies. Flower-heads white, rather small, discoid ; in- 

 volucre short, turbinate or campanulate, the bracts few- 

 seriate, imbricated ; receptacle conical or elongated ; 

 achenes laterally compressed ; cymes corymbose, forming 

 a pyramidal panicle at the tips of the branches. Leaves 

 opposite, petiolate, entire or toothed. The two species 

 described below are pretty plants, and thrive in a light, 

 rich soil. They may be readily increased by cuttings of 

 the young wood, inserted in sand, under a glass, in heat. 



S. hirsuta (hairy), ji. -heads ternately sub-sessile, oblong, in 

 trirhotomous corymbs ; involucre two or three-seriate. August. 

 I. Sin. to Sin. long, ovate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, denti- 

 culate-repand or sub-entire, scabrous-hispidulous above, villous- 

 tomento.se beneath. Branches villous-pubescent. Jamaica, 1823.

S. scandens (climbing). Jl.-heads henuspherical. June. /. ovate, 

 a-ununate, sub-entire, glabrous. Stem climbing, and, as well as 

 tlie brandies, smooth towards the apex. h. 6ft. Vera Cruz,

 Stns. Bn.'ibeckea, Salpichroma. Ord. Solaiiaceac. A genus 

 consisting of about ten species of stove or greenhouse 

 herbs, sub-shrubs or shrubs, natives of extra-tropical 

 South America or the Andes. Flowers white or yellow, 

 sometimes 2in. to 3in. long: calyx five-fid or five-parted; 

 corolla long, tubular or urceolate, the lobes five, acute, in-

 affixed above the middle of the tube ; pedicels solitary. 

 Leaves entire, rather long-petiolate, often rather small. 

 .S. (ilandvh>t<a, the only species introduced, is a stove 

 slirub, ret-iuiring culture similar to Juanulloa (which see). 



S, glandulosa (glandular), fl. yellow; curulla eighteen to nine- 

 teen lines long, the throat nearly iin. in diameter ; jieduncles 

 filiform, nodding at apex. July. I. 'twin, long-petiolate, cordate-

 gardens, is a very ornamental and useful border plant ; 

 it requires culture similar to Schizanthus (which see).
