SALPIGLOSSIS 



22. cord^ta, Muhl. (S. rigida, Muhl.). Heart- 

 leaved Willow. Fig. 2236. A large shi'ub or small 

 tree, 10-30 ft. high: branches stout: buds large, flat- 

 tened against the branch: Ivs. oblong-lanceolate, green 

 on both sides, finely serrate, glabrous and rather rigid 

 at maturity : aiuents rather slender, appearing with the 

 Ivs. : capsules glabrous, greenish or brownish. N. 



(section Perizoma) ; calyx tubular or short, 5-cleft or 

 parted, the lobes linear; corolla tubular or urn-shaped, 

 without a crown in the throat; lobes 5, acute, often 

 short, induplicate-valvate: berry ovoid or oblong, 2-

Krelage says of the species described below: "This 

 plant is neither beautiful nor interesting, but it has the 

 advantage of being an exceedingly 

 rapid climber, covering -walls with- 

 in one season with a thick mass 

 of foliage." Franceschi says the 

 small white berries are sold every- 

 where in Paraguay as "cock's 

 eggs." 



2135. Staminate catkins of Goat Willow— Salix Caprea (X %). No. i:: 



Amer. — This is a variable species and undoubtedly some 

 of the forms included in it are hybrids; several sup- 

 posed natural hybrids have been described. Var. p6n- 

 dula, Hort., is a decumbent form. 



23. irror^ta, Anders. Colorado Willow. A dense 

 diffuse shrub, 8-12 ft. high : branches stout, covered 

 with a white bloom: buds large: Ivs. linear-lanceolate, 

 3—4 in. long, % in. wide, green above, glaucous beneath, 

 nndulate serrate: anients all appearing before the Ivs., 

 sessile, very densely fid. ; staminate golden yellow: cap- 

 .sule glabrous, nearly sessile. Rocky Mts. 



24. incd,na, Schrank. {S. petioldris and S. rosmarini- 

 folia of Amer. gardeners, but not of botanists). Shrub 

 or small round-topped tree, with long, slender branches: 

 Ivs. linear, revolute, 2-5 in. long, very narrow, green 

 above, white-tomentose beneath: aments long and slen- 

 der, appearing with the Ivs.: capsule glabrous: fila- 

 ments of stamens more or less connate. Eu. — This spe- 

 cies is grafted upon hardy stock ( S. Caprea ) when sold 

 from nurseries. 



25. purpurea, Linn. {S. Forhyhna, Sm. Vefrix pur- 

 vkrea, Rafin.). Purple Osi£r. Fig. 2233. A shrub 

 or small tree, spreading at base, with long, flexible 

 branches: Ivs. oblanceolate serrulate, glabrous, veiny, 

 3-6 in. long, often appearing opposite: aments sessile, 



slender ; pistillate recurved ; scales 

 purple: stamen one: capsules small, 

 ovate. Eu. — Plantedas an ornamental 

 shrub and escaped in many places. 

 Also grown as a basket Willow. Var. 

 p6ndula. Branches pendent. Gng.

20. Sitch§nsis, Sans. Sitka Wil- 

 low. A shrub, 10-12 ft. high and 

 more: Ivs. obovate, glabrous, clothed 

 beneath with silky hairs which have 

 a beautiful satiny luster: aments ap- 

 pearing with Ivs., long, cylindrical 

 and graceful, also satiny. This Wil- 

 low, which, so far as the writer 

 knows, has not been used as an orna- 

 mental plant, is one tliat would be at 

 once novel and beautiful. — The char- 

 acteristic lustre of the leaves is pre- 

 served in plants in cultivation. N.W.

(Greek, tube and skin; in reference to 

 the form and t(^xtureof the flower). Syn., Salplvhroma. 

 Solanarcii'. About 10 species. Natives of extra-tropical 

 legions, mostly American herbs or shrubs. Lvs. often 

 small, entire, long-petioled: fis. white or yellow, 2-3 in.

rhomboidea, Miers {Salpiclirbma

 SALPICHROMA. See Salpichroa. 



SALPIGLOSSIS (Greek, tube and tongue; alluding to 

 the form of the corolla and the appearance of the style). 

 Solandcew. A genus of possibly 2 or 3 species of 

 annual or biennial plants, natives of Chile. The only 

 species in cult, is S. sinuata, which was formerly 

 divided into about 6 species mainly on the color of the 

 flowers. S. .'iiniiata has greatly improved in size of 

 flowers and range of color until it is at the present time 

 amongst our very finest half-hardy annuals. Pl.ants 

 about 18 in. high, covered with short glandular hairs, 

 lvs. entire, wavy-margined, dentate or pinnatifid: fls

long-stemmed, large, funnel-shaped, ranging in color 

 from various shades of purple and blue through nu- 

 merous reds and yellows to creamy white, and usually
