17. S. phylicifolia (Phytica-leaued Willow], leaves oblong 

 shortly attenuated at each extremity with often wavy seiru- 

 tures glabrous and glaucous beneath, gennens pedicellate su- 

 bulate glabrous, style much elongated, stigmas bifid. Linn. ?

HAB. Ben Lawers, Mr. Borrer and Hock. Fl. May, June. ^ 

 A small bushy shrub, with leaves of a much thinner texture than the 

 last, and capsules of a totally different nature, more like those of 

 S. Russelliana, from which again the leaves are widely different. 

 The rachis of the catkins is pubescent, and the small scales slightly 

 so. The plant precisely accords with Wahlenberg's figure and 

 description. 



18. S, Arbuscula (little Tree Willow}, leaves lanceolate obso- 

 letely denticulato-serrate glabrous glaucous beneath, germens 

 oblongo-ovate very silky pedicellate, style elongated, stigmas 

 entire. E. B. t. 1386." Wah.1. Lapp. "p. 263. /. 16. /. 2.

' About 1 foot high, naked below, like a little tree/' Sm. Branches 

 downy. Leaves one or one inch and a half long, very minutely 

 serrated, sometimes according to Smith and Wahlenberg oblong or 

 ovate. Catkins short, very silky. Scales short, blackish, silky. My 

 specimens become black in drying. Wahlenberg says his remain 

 green in that state ; and his plants have the leaves much more ser- 

 rated than ours. 



19. S. livida (livid Willow,) " leaves oblong nearly entire gla- 

 brous livid beneath, germens pedicellate somewhat silky, stig- 

 mas nearly sessile 2-lobed." WahL Lapp. p. 2/2. /. 16. J\ 6.

" Glabrous every where, and even shining, about 1 foot high ; the 

 branches divergent, and almost deilexed, brownish. Leaves ob- 

 longo-rhomboicl, broader upwards, acuminated at each extremity, 

 livid rather than glaucous beneath. Scales not so long as the pedi- 

 cel, shortly pubescent." WahL 1. c. 



20. S. vittllina (yellow Willow^ or golden Osier), leaves lan- 

 ceolate with cartilaginous serratures glabrous above more or 

 less silky beneath, germens lanceolate sessile glabrous, style 

 short, stigmas bipartite, scales lanceolate as long as the ger- 

 men glabrous. E. B. t. 1389.

tranches singularly yellow, and indeed the whole foliage approaches 

 to that tint. It is rather an ornamental than useful tree.
