The Sexex. The female is described in the Specific Character, and in Willdenow's description of S. 

 Fluggednn. 



Spec. Char., S;c. Leaves oblong lanceolate, acute, tapered to the base, obsoletely denticulated, 

 hoary and tomento.se, and wrinkled with veins on the under surface ; lower ones obtuse. Stipules 

 half.heart-shaped, acute. Catkins sessile, arched, attended by some scale-shapcd leaves at the 

 base. Capsule ovate lanceolate, tomentose, stalked; the stalk as long again as the gland. Stylo 

 short. Stigmas oblong, nearly entire. {Koch.) Wild in Portugal, the south of France, and Swit- 

 zerland. In Dauphine, Villars says that it serves as a stock on which to gratl S. vitellina. .Smith 

 mentions that the triuik is about lilft. or 12 fl. high ; the leaves about IJ in. or 2 in. long, and .some- 

 what revolute ; and the branches dark brown, hairy when young, and very brittle. Smith describes 

 S. .valvia-folia and S. Fluggeiijiit as distinct species ; but it does not ajipear that he had seen speci- 

 mens of either. .V. Fluggeawn W'illd. is stated in the Uortus Britantiicus to be a native of the south 

 of France, and introduced in 1820.

Synoni/mes. S. discolor Schrad. Hort. Giitt. MSS., asquoted by Willd. It is noticed by Koch {Comm.,

 slightly serrated towards the i)oint. Stipules very small. Catkins protruded rather earlier than

 bicolor ; but the foliage is always more or less clothed on both surfaces with silky hairs ; and the 

 two stamens are distinct. The footstalks are slender, elongated, sometimes having two minute 

 rounded stipules at the base, or, in their stead, a pair of glands. {Id.) Introduced in 1820.
