Spec. Char. y $c. Leaves roundish ovate, pointed, entire ; shaggy on both 

 surfaces ; glaucous on the under one. Ovary sessile, oblong, glabrous. 

 Styles four times as long as the blunt divided stigmas. Catkins clothed with 

 long, yellow, silky hairs. Ovary nearly sessile, lanceolate, 

 longer than the style. Stigmas undivided. (Hook.) A 

 low shrub. Scotland, on the Clova Mountains. Height 

 3 ft. to 4 ft. Flowers yellow ; May. 



The splendid golden catkins at the ends of the young 

 shoots light up, as it were, the whole bush, and are accom- 

 panied by the young foliage, sparkling with gold and silver. 

 It yields, also, more honey than any other salix. Grafted 

 standard high, it would make a delightful little spring- 

 flowering tree for suburban gardens.
