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

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

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

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

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

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

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