7. vitellina, Linn. (S. bldnda, Anderss.). 

 Yellow Willow. Becoming a very large and 

 venerable appearing tree, the rather short

 ture, glaucous beneath, the whiteness inten- 

 sified after the lvs. fall. Aments appearing 

 with the leaves. Abundant in E. N. Amer.

 which are: Var. adrea, Salisb. (var. a«rn)i-
