 longer than the style. Stigmas imdivided. {Hook.) A 

 low shrub. Scotland, on the Clova Mountains. Height

' The splendid golden catkins at the ends of the young 

 I 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.
