which, and especially in those from the younger Jacquin preserved in the Smithian collection, the 

 bractcal leaves are large and closely resemble those of the leafy twigs; and the scales of the 

 catkin are nailed, except a marginal fringe." {Borrcr in Eng. But. Suppl., 1.2656.) The S. Wul- 

 fenjViwa of Willdenow appears to be a native of Carinthia, where it was found by Wulfen. It 

 flower« from May to July, and was introduced in 1818.

S S. drctica R. Br., in his List of the Plants collected in Ross's Voyage. Koch, in his Comm., p. 61., 

 note *, considers this species about iiiternieiliate between S. Jacquinw Host and S. reticulata L. ; and 

 he has described it. He states it to be a native of the most northern part of America, Hudson's Bay, 

 Melville Island, &c. It is also described by Dr. Richardson, in App. to Franklin's First Jovrney, 

 p. T.'Je, 753. According to Dr. Lindley (A'n^ Si/st. of Hot.), it is the most northern woody plant that is 

 known. Mr. Borrer considers it to be near .S. cordifblia J'ursh. 



^ S. desertnrum Rich, and S. rostruta Rich, are mentioned by Dr. Richardson, in App. to Frank' 

 lin's First Joiir7iey, as new species. 



3fc S. cinertiscens Link M.SS. (Willd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 70.1. ; Smith in Rees's Cyclo , No. 132.), the ash. 

 coloured Portuguese willow, has the leaves oblong-obovate, pointed, and serrated ; hoary with down 

 beneath. Stipules large, lunate, and toothed. [IVilld. and Smith.) A native of marshes in Portugal. 

 This kind is supposed by Korh to be probably identical, or nearly so, with the 5. grandifoiia of 

 Seriiige ; and it appears to belong to the group Cinferea;.

 cinerasccns U'illd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 706. This kind is sup|)osed by Koch to be the same as S. cinerascens ; 

 and it appears to resemble S. c?iprea. 



Jk S. divarichta Pall. Fl. Ross., 2. p. SO., Willd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 675., Smith in Rees's Cyclo., No. .52. 

 This species is a native of the alps of Da'iria, where it grows among granite rocks, over which it 

 spreads in a j)rostrate form. The stem is about as thick as the finger, very much divided, and forked 

 from its origin, with short, rigid, depressed, yellowish brown branches. The leaves are crowded 

 about the ends of the .shoots ; in some specimens lanceolate, and nearly entire ; in others obovate- 

 lanceolate, coarsely serrated, the serratures somewhat wavy and obtuse : both sides are quite smooth. 

 Pallas states that this kind resembles the S. //hvlicif.Mia of Linnsus. {Smith.) 



siis S. kirsuta Thunb. Prod., 6., l-l. Cap., 1. p. 141 ; Willd. Sp. PI., N >. 605., Smith in Rees's 

 Cyclo., No. 106. A tree 6ft. high, a native of the Cape of Good Hope; with the leaves on the 

 extreme shoots scarcely 1 in. long, and on very short footstalks, obovate, obtuse, with a point, and 

 clothed on both sides with white iiairs. (Thunb. and Smith.)

the sandy islands and shallows in the southern parts of the Wolga ; not expanding its catkins or 



leaves till the beginning of June. In dry ground, it becomes a tree ; but is otherwise shrubby, 6 ft. 



high ; with brittle grey or yellowish twigs, glabrous, except when very young. It is distinguished 



from S. ciprea, by its broad and serrated leaves, and ovate ovaries. {Id.) 



To the names above given many others might be added, and in particular the greater number of 

 those described in Host's Flora Austriaca, which we have preferred giving in a separate Appendix.

The plates, which form pages 1603. /o 16S0., contain figures of leaves, of the 

 natural size, from the engravings of willows given in the Sa/ic/iini Woburuense ; 

 and against each leaf, or pair of leaves, we have placed the same number, and 

 the same name, which are given in the SaHeliini. In App. ii., in p. 1G31., will 

 be found an alphabetical list of all these names, with references to the figures 

 of leaves in our pages; and the snme figures arc also referred to, where the 

 respective kinds are described, in the description of willows in British collec- 

 tions, contained in the pages belwecn |). l-tOO. and p. 1595.
