* & H. #. 3 sibirica. H. sibfrica Load. Cat. ed. 1836. Appears to differ 

 very little, if at all, from the species. 



In British nurseries, plants are commonly increased by suckers, which are 

 produced in abundance ; and a deep sandy soil is suitable for growing the 

 plant to a large size. It may be planted in elevated and exposed situations, 

 and on the sea coast, where few other trees will grow.

 Engraving. Our fig. 1369. from a living specimen. 



Spec. Char., $c. Without thorns, up- 

 right, branched. Leaves lanceolate, 

 obtuse, whitely tomentose, as are the 

 branchlets. A large deciduous shrub 

 or low tree. Sirinagur, in Nepal. Height 

 15ft. to 20 ft. Introduced in 1822. 

 Flowers and fruit as in H. Rham- 

 noides. 



A much more robust species than 

 H. Rhamnoides, though probably more 

 liable to be injured by frost. The shoots 

 produced in one season, from a plant 

 cut down, are 5 or 6 feet in length, and 

 the leaves about twice the length of 

 those of the common species, much less 

 silvery, and closely resembling those of 

 Salix viminalis. The aspect of this species 

 is less white than that of H. Rhamnoides. 13G9 . // , a iicifbua.
