c continued, 



serrated, 2in. to 4in. long, glabrous, glaucous beneath ; stipules 

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

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

 S. VUlarsiana. The following varieties were formerly regarded 

 as distinct species : 



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

 glaucous beneath. Twigs furrowed. 



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

 type, green beneath. Twigs terete. 



S. VUlarsiana (Villars"). A synonym of S. triandra. 



S. viminalis (twiggy). Osier. JL, catkins golden-yellow, ses- 

 sile, Jin. to 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. 

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

 (Sy. En. B. 1322.) S. Smithiana and S. stipularis are supposed 

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

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



S. virldls (green). JL, catkins on short, leafy, lateral branches, 

 spreading or recurved, cylindrical, dense in flower, lax in fruit. 

 May and June. L narrowly lanceolate-elliptic, attenuated at 

 base and long-acuminate at apex, or equally attenuated at each 

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

 young ones silky. Young branches downy. A. 30ft. Europe 

 (Britain). (Sy. En. B. 1808.) SYN. S. RutteUiana. 



SALLOW. A common name for several species of 

 Salix, notably 8. Caprea. 



SALLOW THORN. See Hippophae. 

 SALMEA (named in honour of Prince Charles of 

 Salm-Dyck, in Holland, an enthusiastic cultivator of 

 plants). SYN. Hoplcirltia. OBD. Composites. 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). JL-heads ternately sub-sessile, oblong, in 

 trichotomous corymbs ; involucre two or three-seriate. August 

 L 3in. to Sin. long, ovate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, denti- 

 culate-repand or sub-entire, scabrous-hispidnlous above, villons- 

 tomentose beneath. Branches villous-pubescent Jamaica, 1823.

8. scandens (climbing). Jl.-fuadi hemispherical. June, 

 acuminate, sub-entire, glabrous. Stem climbing, and, as well as 



A. 6ft 



L ovate, 

 s well as 

 Vera Cruz, 



the branches, smooth towards the apex, 

 1820. (B.M.2062.)

 STNS. Busbeclcea, Salpichroma. OBD. Solanaceoe. 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 Sin. long; calyx five-fid or five- parted; 

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

 duplicate-valvate, often short, erect or spreading ; stamens 

 affixed above the middle of the tube; pedicels solitary. 

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

 S. glandulosa, the only species introduced, is a stove 

 shrub, requiring culture similar to Juannlloa (which see). 

 S. glandulosa (glandular). JL yellow ; corolla eighteen to nine- 

 teen lines long, the throat nearly Jin. in diameter; peduncles 

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

 ovate, seven to eleven lines long, glandular-pubescent, often 

 hoary-tomentose. Stem sub-erect, much branched, A. 2ft. 

 Chili, 1844.

 mouth of the corolla). OBD. Solanacece. A small genus 

 (two or three closely-related species) of greenhouse or 

 hardy, annual, biennial, or perennial, viscous-pubescent 

 herbs, natives of Chili. Flowers few, rather long- 

 pedicellate, often rather large; calyx tubular, five-fid; 

 corolla obliquely funnel-shaped, the throat ample, cam- 

 panulate; lobes five, plicate, emarginate, erecto-patent ; 

 perfect stamens four, included. Leaves entire, sinuate- 

 toothed, or pinnatifid. 8. sinuata, the species known in 

 gardens, is a very ornamental and useful border plant ; 

 it requires culture similar to Schiaanthus (which see).

 S. linearis (lined). A synonym of Petunia intermedia.
