 Woolly Lapland Willow. Anglis, 

 On the Highland mountains, as on Creg-chaillech 

 and Mal-gbyrd}\ in Breadalbane., Sec, Mr. Stuarts 

 \ . VI. 

 This fhrub grows to the height of four ~ "^ 

 feet. The bark is fmooth and redd; 

 young twigs white and hoary. The leaves grow 

 alternate, are lanceolate and entire, very woolly 

 on both fides, but moftly on the under fide ; 

 about an inch and a quarter long, and half an 

 inch wide. The longitudinal nerve fometimes 

 divides the leaf unequally, fo that one fide of it 

 is a little wider than the other, and the edges 

 are often flightly waved. The capAales are co- 

 vered with a thick white woolly down. The 

 upper furface of the leaves, when old, lofes 

 ,moii of its down, and becomes of a dark green 

 colour. 

 This willow, and the Beiula nana, are the conftant 

 Summer fuel of the Laplanders, while they at- 

 tend their rhein-deer dairy on the alps of the 

 North.
