34. S. agudtica, Sm. ( Wafer Salloiv); stem and branches erect, 

 leaves slightly serrated obovato-elliptical minutely downy flat 

 rather glaucous beneath, stipules rounded toothed, gcrmens 

 silky stalked, stigmas neai-ly sessile. E. Sot. t. 1437. Hook. 

 Scot. I. p. 284, {ii'ith S. cinerea). Salict. Woh. p. 1153, t. 127. 



Wet hedge-rows, swampy' places, &c. Fl. Apr. h . 



35. S. olcifolia, Sm. {Olive-leaved Salloio) ; '-stem erect, 

 branches straight spreading, leaves obovato-lanceolateflat rather 

 rigid minutely toothed acute glaucous reticulated and finely hairy 

 beneath, stipules small notched rounded, catkins oval nearly half 

 as broad as long." Sm. E. Bot. t. 1402. Hooh. Scot. \.p. 284, 

 {icith S. cimrea). Salict. JVcb. p. 231, t. 126. 



Abundant in Norf(jlk: about Tnnbridge, as well as in other parts of 

 England, and in Scotland. FL March, fj . — Mr Forbes is disposed, 

 with Sir J. E. Smith, to consider this and the two preceding species 

 really distinct. Mr Borrer says, " I do not venture to unite the three, 

 although 1 could never satisfy myself as to their characters. They all 

 var}' much in foliage and in fructification." 



36. S. atirita, L. (round-cared Sallow); leaves obovate repan- 

 do-dentate wrinkled with veins more or less pubescent very 

 downy beneath, tipped with a small bent point recurved at the 

 margins, stipules roundish semicordate, germens lanceolato-subu- 

 late stalked silky, style very short, stigmas generally entire. 

 E. Bot. t. 1487. Salict. JVob. p. 247, t. 124. 



Moist woods and thickets, abundant. F/. May. h -—^ small, bushy 

 tree ; with straggling branches. " One of the least equivocal species ; 

 although its leaves vary in length and in roundness. They are usually 

 much wrinkled and vaulted, the sfijmles large and stalked." Borr. MS. 



87. S. caprea, L. (great round-leaved Sallow); leaves ovato- 

 elliptical acute serrated and waved at the margin downy beneath, 

 stipules semicordate, germens pedicellate lanceolato-subulate 

 silky, stigmas sessile undivided. £".^0^.^.1488. Salict. Wob. 

 p.'243,t. 122. 



Woods and dry pastures, common. Fl. April, May. h — A- small 

 tree, distinguished by being in the spring loaded with handsome yellow 

 blossoms before any of its leaves appear. The catkins, of both kinds, 

 are broader and shorter than in most of the species with crowded//o?t'ers. 

 The Highlanders employ the hark to tan leather, and the handles of 

 various agricultural implements are made of its wood. The bark has 

 even been used with success, instead of that from Peru. 



38. S. sphaceldta, Sm. (withered- pointed Sallotv); "stem erect, 

 leaves elliptico-obovate even veiny entire or slightly serrated 

 downy on both sides discoloured at the point, stipules half heart- 

 shaped toothed erect, germs stalked ovato-lanceolate silky, stig- 

 mas notched longer than the style." Sm. E. Bot. t. 2333. Salict. 

 Wob.p.24\, t. 121. 



At Fionlarig, near the head of Loch Tay. Fl. April, May. Tj .—With 

 this I am unacquainted, and Mr Borrer doubts if it be a good species.
