S. Three or four bushes by Ashton brook, not very far 

 from the church. Walton Drove, and Walton withy- 

 bed ; Mr. D. Fry. Near Wells ; Rev. R. Murray. 



(3. S. rugosa, Leefe. 



G. Boiling Well ; Herb. Stephens. IV. V. 



(8. stipularis, Sm. " Osier-beds at St. Philip's Marsh ; " 

 Dr. H. 0. Stephens.) 



708. S. acuminata, Sm. 



Native ; in wet hedges and marshes, rather common. 



G. Ditch-banks at the Boiling Well, chiefly on the 

 Baptist Mills side of the railway. 



S. Frequent about Clevedon, where however the fertile 

 plant is extremely rare. Common on the moors about 

 Brent Knoll, Berrow and Burnham. Plentiful in 

 Walton withy-bed ; Mr. D. Fry. IV. 



709. S. cinerea, L. 



Native ; in w r et places in the lowlands, and also in woods 

 and hedges, very common. 



If we may presume to give an opinion on the many 

 variations of this aggregate, our observations would 

 prompt us to conclude that typical cinerea is most 

 frequently met with inland, and often in comparatively 

 dry situations ; while forms approaching /3. S. aquatica, 

 Sm. grow in great abundance throughout the alluvial 

 tracts near the Severn, the Channel, and elsewhere, 

 being more common than any other willow ; and that 

 <y. S. oleifolia is not rare, having been gathered at the 

 Boiling Well and at Horfield in Gloucestershire, and 

 also at Clevedon and Clapton in Somerset. III. IV. 



710. S. aurita, L. 



Native ; in damp hedges and bushy places, rather local. 

 We have not met with it within some miles of Bristol.
