 Prin. sp. 90. and 97. 



Stamens 2 to a flower. Ovary tomentose with silky tomentum. Leaves 

 mostly obovate, toothed, grey or hoary, more or less wrinkled ; very veiny 

 beneath ; stipuled branches downy. Plants trees or shrubs. The group 

 includes the kinds of willow that are usually called the sallows. (Hook.) 

 The sallows are known by their obovate or rounded downy leaves, and 

 thick, early, silken catkins, with prominent, yellow, distinct stamens, 2 to 

 a flower. (Smith Eng. FL, iv. p. 216.) Not a few of the group Nigricantes 

 Borrer also have been regarded as sallows. Mr. Borrer, however, states 

 that he is unacquainted with many of the species, or supposed species, of 

 this group, and of the group Nigricantes ; and it is highly probable that 

 many of them are placed wrongly. (Borrer in a letter.)
