58 Salix caprea Linn. 



villoso-incanis, demum calvescentibus ; amentis praecocibus, masculis ovatis 

 turgidis villosissimis, femineis elongato-cylindraceis, sericeis; capsulis pedi- 

 cellatis tenuibus oblongis, stylis duobus basi coalitis, stigmatibus bifidis" 

 aliam longe indicat formam, quam cum S. glauca cohaerere suspiceris. — 

 Quam vulgo liuic ut varietatem subscribunt S. sphacelatam Smith (cf. 

 Hartig p. 32) eam alio modo interpretandam esse docui ad S. silesiacam. 

 Figuram in Flora Dan. t. 245 malam esse asserit Anders. „amento ter- 

 minali crasso et longo, stylo valde elongato, caps. sessil. fol. subrotundis 

 S. lanatae proprior; sed Daniae occurrere dicitur." Mihi e dissitis tenis 

 specimina S. capreae lustranti nusquam talis visa est. 



De hac Forbes Wob. 122: „The bark both serves the higlanders for 

 tanning, and forms no indifferent substitute for the Cinchona in agnes ; and 

 the wood being white, tough, and smooth in grain, forms excellent hurdles, 

 and goot handles for hatchets. It is used also for charcoal, and in the ma- 

 nufacture of gunpowder etc."
