wood nearly opposite the entrance gate to Roughborough farm, be- 

 twixt Ryde and Brading ; Dr. Bell Salter !!! By the bridge that 

 crosses the road near Shanklin Church, on the left hand side ; Id. 

 My only specimens of this are flowering ones of both sexes ; the 

 leaves I have not yet seen. I adopt this species as a native on Dr. 

 Salter's authority, who has paid some attention to the willows in 

 times past, and speaks with confidence on the correctness of the one 

 before us. 



Salix acuminata. In damp hedges and thickets, &c. ; I believe 

 not very uncommon in this island In Northwood Park ; Dr. Salter 

 and Miss G. E. Kilderbee. In a low wet meadow nearly opposite Red- 

 hill farm, Appuldurcombe, 1843. I have only seen the pistillate plant 

 of this species here as yet. An apparently well marked willow. Be- 

 tween the tunnel and Fontley ; Mr. W. L. Notcutt. 



cinerea. Very frequent, at least its now constituted var. /3. 



aquatica, in wet woods, thickets, hedges, and other damp situations. 

 About Ryde, by a little pond near Westridge farm, &c. Titchfield 

 Common ; Mr. W. L. Notcutt. 



aurita. In wet woods, thickets and bogs; in various parts 



of the Isle of Wight, most abundantly. Plentiful in New Copse, be- 

 tween Ryde and Wootton Bridge. Abundant on the Wilderness ; 

 Undercliff, not uncommon. Between the tunnel and Fontley ; Mr. 

 W. L. Notcutt. As Sir Wm. Hooker remarks, " One of the least 

 equivocal species, although its leaves vary in length and roundness." 



caprcea. In woods, hedges, thickets and bushy pastures, 



&c, everywhere ; the most abundant of all our sallows. 



Dr. Salter found some years ago what he considers S. Forsteriana, 

 in Northwood Park, W. Cowes. As this appears to be quite a north- 

 ern species, and only a single tree was detected, it was most probably 

 introduced by some accident into the plantations there, in which wil- 

 lows of several kinds have been propagated. 



lamina. Woods, &c. By a little pool close to Newtown, 



on the right of the road from Shalfleet, between the town-hall and 

 Fretlands farm, pointed out to me as this species by Mr. Borrer, a 

 few years ago. 



fusca. In sandy, heathy, or moory ground, both moist and 



dry, in various parts of the island. Abundant along the road-side 

 and heathy ground adjoining it on the northern skirt of Parkhurst 

 Forest. Var. £ ascendens, S. parvifolia, Sm., E. B. t. 1961. Moist 

 thicket near Ryde, towards Newport. Other forms of this variable
