The fpecies we mean is an humble, dirfuTe, prof- 

 trate fhrub, feldom above two feet high. The 

 leaves are of a thick fubflance, alternate, and 

 elliptical, the largell an inch long, and half an 

 inch wide, the fmalleft three quarters of an inch 

 long, and a quarter of an inch wide. They are 

 covered with white filken hairs on both fides 

 but particularly fo on the under fide. The da; k 

 green colour of the upper furface appears thro* 

 tiie hairs. At the bale of the leaves are fome- 

 times found ['md\\ JiipuU^ but they arc generally 

 without them. The fcalcs and capfules are 

 hoary. 



So obfcure are the defcriptlons of authors, that it 

 is doubtful whether the plant above propofed be 

 the fame which Linriceus intends by his S. Are- 

 nariay tho' it certainly is the kind which Z)///(f- 

 nius terms Salix pumila foliis utrinq. candicanti- 

 bus y lanuginojls. Rail Synops. p. 447. n. :?, and 

 which we believe to be only a variety of the fol- 

 lowing, arifing from fituation and foil.
