Staines, by Aylmei- Bourke Lambert, Esq. : and since in other parts of 

 Eng-land ; as near Icklingham, Suffolk ; near Norwich ; and at Henley 

 upon Thames. Near Edinburgh. Fl. Apr. Tj . — Very nearly allied to 

 the last, but distinguishable by its leaves, which are generally broader at 

 the base, and the purplish glaucous hue of the young shoots. 



4. S.* Woollgaridna., Borr. (Mr Wool/gar's Willow); monan- 

 drous, erect, leaves cuneato-Ianceolate seri-ated glabrous, ger- 

 mens ovate very pubescent sessile downy, stigmas nearly sessile 



ovate scarcely emarginate. Borreria E. Bot. Suppl. t. 2651.

About Lewes, Sussex, in osier-holts, but scarcely wild. At King- 

 ston-upon-Thames, apparently wild. FL May. I^ . — Under S. mon- 

 andra are included by Hoft'm., not only S. purpurea and S. Helix, but 

 also, according to Mr Borrer, our present individual, distinguishing it 

 however as a var.; as such, therefore, it had been long known to Mr 

 Borrer and the late Mr Woollgar, though the latter gentleman was so 

 far of opinion that it was a distinct species, that he used to call it S. cunei- 

 folia, from the shape of its leaves, especially the upper ones. The name 

 monandra can now scarcely be retained without creating much needless 

 confusion, and I gladly adopt that given by Mr Borrer in compliment 

 to a gentleman who supplied Sir J. E. Smith with several of his willows 

 and who formed his opinion upon the species from long and accurate 

 observations. The present one is alluded to in the E. Fl. under S. 

 Lambertiana, with which it agrees in the stigmas ; while the catkins 

 are mosthke those of S. Forbyana and of a peculiarly soft texture. In 

 the Willow ground at Woburn Abbey, whither it was sent by Mr For- 

 ster as S. monandra, and consequently published under that name in the 

 *' Salictum," it attained only 6 feet in five years. Mr Forbes observes 

 thai its shoots and twigs much resemble those of S. Helix, while the 

 leaves and stigmas are widely different. 



5. S. Forb)/dna, Sra. (/?/^e basket Osier); monaudrous, erect, 

 leaves with small downy stipules lanceolato-oblong serrated 

 glabrous, style equal in length to the linear divided stigmas.

Meadows and osier-grounds at Fincham, Norfolk [Rev. Jos. Forby), 

 and near Lynn. Cambridgeshire, truly wild ; Sm. Fl. Apr. T2 . — Stems 

 yellowish-green, glossy. Allied to S. Helix, especially in the fructifica- 

 tion ; but differing in foliage. This species is much esteemed by basket- 

 makers for the finer sorts of wicker-work. 



6. S. rtibra, Huds. (^green-leaved Osier); stamens 2 combined 

 at the base, leaves linear-lanceolate broader in the fertile plant, 

 acuminated serrated glabrous green on both sides, capsules 

 oblongo-ovate very pubescent sessile, style elongated, stigmas 

 linear undivided. E. Bot. t. 1145. Salict. Wob. p. 11,^6. —

Low meadows and osier-holts, but rare ; Maidenhead ; Windsor ; 

 near Salisbury ; Cambridgeshire. Carlisle. Frequent in hedges and 

 osier-grounds, Scotland. Fl. Apr. May. Tj . — A small tree, with longer 

 and more lanceolate and acuminated leaves than any other in the pre-
