slender alioots anil j^laucous leaves, which latter have a peculiar twist ; whence, 

 perhaps, tiie specific name of //clix, snail-like. There are plants at Hackney, 

 Goklsvorth, Woburn, IlenfieUl, and Flitwick.

 T/ic Si^xcs. Both are figured in Eng. Hut. and Sat. IVob. Mr. Borrer has only seen the female of 



this, and the male of A.'. W^ix, and thinks they are the two sexes of one species.

Spec. Char., Sfc. Branches erect. Leaves partly op[)osite, obovate-lanceolate, 

 pointed, serrated, smooth J roundeil at the base. Stipules none. Stamen 1. 

 Stigmas ovate, obtuse, notched, very short, nearly sessile. (ling. FL, iv. 

 p. 189.) A native of England, flowering in March and April. This species is of 

 the size and habit of the last, but very distinct from it at first sight, particularly 

 in the tender summits of the young growing branches, which, with their pur- 

 plish glaucous hue, and some degree of downiness, resemble those of a honey- 

 suckle. Catkins not more than half the size of those of 5'. //elix, with rounded, 

 blackish, hairy scales. (Sm. Eng. Fl.) First discovered on the banks of the 

 Willey, at Boyton, Wilts, by A. B. Lambert, Esq., whom the .specific 

 name is meant to compliment. It grows in North America, on the banks 

 of rivers and willow grounds. It was introchiced from Europe, and is cul- 

 tivated for basket-making. (Pitrsh.) S. Lainbertirt«a is suitable for in- 

 troducing into ornamental iilantations, from the graceful character of its 

 slender shoots, and its glaucous foliage. There are plants in the Hackney 

 and Goldworth arboretums, and also at Woburn, Flitwick, and Henfield.

T/ie Sexes. The female is figured in Eng. Bot. Suppl., and both .sexes in Sal. Wob. ; yet Mr. Borrer, 



in his elucidation of this kind, published in Entj. Bot. Suppl., subsequently to the publication of 



S:U. Wob., remarks that he is unacquainted witli the male flowers.

Spec. Char., ^c. Erect. Leaves cuneate-lanceolate, serrated, glabrous. Sta- 

 men 1. Ovary ovate, very pubescent, sessile, downy. Stigmas nearly 

 sessile, ovate, scarcely emarginate. (Hook. Brit. FL, p. -il?.) A native of 

 England, about Lewes, Sussex, in osier holts, but scarcely wild ; at Kings- 

 ton upon Thames, apparently wild ; flowering in May. In the salictmn 

 at Woburn, this species had not attained the height of 6 ft. in five years. It 

 is considered to be very distinct from either S. i/elix or S. Lambertiawa. 

 Mr. Borrer applied the specific name in compliment to the late Mr.WooU- 

 gar, " a gentleman who supplied Sir J. E. Smith with several of his willows, 

 and who formed his opinions upon the species from long and accurate obser- 

 vation." (IIoo/i-. Br. FL, cd. 3.) S. Woollgar/««a had long lieen known to 

 Mr. Borrer and Mr.Woollgar as a variety oi S. monandra Ilojfin.; but Mr. 

 Woollgar was so far of opinion that it was a distinct species, that he used 

 to call it S. cuneifolia, from the shape of its leaves, especially the. upper 

 ones. (II)i(L) There are plants at Ilcnfield, and in the Cioldworth Arbo- 

 retum ; and some, with the name of S. monandra, in that of Messrs. Lod- 

 diges.

'i'/ie Sexes. The female is described in E7ig. Fl., and figured in Eng. Bot. The male is not known. 

 " The original plant, sent from Mr. Forby to Mr. Crowe, w;is found now and then ti> bear a solitary 

 stamen at one of the lower bracteus of the catkins of female flowers, which showetl this species to 

 lie truly monandrous, and distinct from Holl'maiin's S. fissa, to which it had previously been 

 relVrrcd." {Smith.)
