Meadows and o>ier-grouiu!s. About Bury. Glamorganshire. Near 

 Warrington, Scotland. Fl. Apr. May. \ . 



30. S. ferruginea, And. MSS. {ferruginous Willorc) ; "leaves 

 thin lanceolate with wavy crenatures and small teeth minutely 

 Lairy on both sides, paler beneath, stipules small half-ovate, 

 scales obloHj^o-lanceolate, gernien silky stalked, style about as 

 long as the oblong stigmas." Borr. — Salict. Wob.p. 255, t. 128. 

 Borrer in E. Bot. Suppl. t. 2665. 



Near Carlisle ; Fifeshire ; and banks of the Thames, Nuthurst, Sussex; 

 Mr Borrer, to whom I am indebted for specimens, and who observes 

 that it comes nearest to 5. Smithiana. Fl. Apr, May. Tj . — It forms a 

 bushy shrub, 12 — 14 feet higii according to Mr Forbes. 



31. S. acuminata, Sm. {long-leaved Wi/low); " leaves lanceo- 

 lato-oblong pointed wavy finely toothed glaucous and downy 

 beneath, stipules half-ovate then kidney-shaped, catkins cylin- 

 drical, gernien stalked ovate hairy, style as long as the undivided 

 stigmas." Sm E. Bot. f. 1434," Salict. Wob. p. 261, t. 131. 



Rather moist woods and hedges, frequent. Fl. April. Tj . — In my 

 specimens, the germens and scales of the catkins are remarkably shaggy. 

 Mr Borrer, w ho observes that this is the S. lanceolata of Seringe, has 

 never gathered the species wild, nor has Mr Forbes, who, as well as Sir 

 J. E, Smith, places it among the true SuUoivs, our " Cinerece tribe." 



32. S. holosericea, Willd. {softshaggrj-JIoiceredWilloiv); leaves 

 lanceolate acuminate serrated glabrous above, pale downy and 

 strongly veined beneath, catkins cylindrical, germens stalked 

 densely clothed with silky wool, stigmas ovate sessile, scales 

 (black) very shaggy. Willd. Sp. PL v. iv. p. 708 ? Bluff et 

 Fing. Fl. Germ. v. ii. p. 565. 



About Lewes, Sussex. Fl. Apr, May. Tj . — This is a plant which Mr 

 Borrer received from Sir J. E. Smith, marked S, acuminata, var. ru- 

 gosa ; but which he thinks probably allied to the 5^. holosericea of 

 Willd., and distinguishes it from the true acuminata, by its sessile pale- 

 coloured stigmas and leaves greener and more rugose above and more 

 stronglv veined beneath. Mr Forster says that Mr Crowe regarded it 

 as a var. of S. Smithiana, or as an undescribed species. 



* 13. Cinereee. Borr. Trees or loio shrubs ; luith downy branches, 

 and mostly obovate, grey, hoary, toothed, more or less tcrinkled 

 and stipuled leaves, very veiny beneath. Germens sericeo-tomen- 

 tose. — This group is usually denotninated the Sallows. 



33. S. cinerea, L. (grey Salloio) ; leaves obovato-elliptical 

 sometimes approaching to lanceolate more or less glaucous above, 

 beneath pubescent and reticulated with veins tiie margins slightly 

 recurved, stipules semicordate, germens stalked lanceolato-subu- 

 late silkv, styles short, stigmas mostly entire. E. Bot. t. 1897.
