43. S. Damasc^na, Forbes, (^Dainsoii-leaved Willow); "young 

 shoots densely hairy, leaves ovate or rhomboidal bluntly toothed 

 silky when young at length nearly naked green on both sides, 

 stipules half-heart-shaped, catkins (in flower) longer than the 

 floral leaves, scales obovate, germen stalked naked, style divided 

 longer than the diverging stigmas." Borr. — Forbes in Salict. 



Woburn. p. 283. Borr in E. Hot. Suppl. t. '2709. 

 South of Scotland and the Borders. Ft. (with the young leaves) April. 



T2. — " Perhaps too near S.Andersoniana to be properly regarded as a 

 species," Borr. I. c. — It would gratify me, and I am sure all true lovers 

 of Botany, if Mr Borrer, who has so profound a knowledge of British 

 Willows, Roses, and Brambles, would abolish, as species, all those which 

 he thinks too nearly allied to others, instead of sanctioning them by his 

 authoritj'. 



44. S. Forsteriana, Sm. {glaucous Mountain Sallotv); " stem 

 erect, branches minutely downy, leaves elliptic-obovate acute 

 crenate slightly downy glaucous beneath, stipules vaulted, cat- 

 kins elongated (Borr.), germens stalked awl-shaped silky, style 

 (at length bifid at the extremity) as long as the blunt emarginate 

 (or bifid) stigmas." Sm. E. Bot. t. 2344. Salict. Wob. p. 219, 

 t. 110. 



Not rare in Scotland, Mr E. Forster : on the Breadalbane mountains, 

 along with the preceding. Heaton Dene, banks of the Tyne. FL May, 

 June. Tj. — Similar to the last: distinguishable by its more or less silky 

 germeris, and, as Mr Borrer observes, longer catkins; to which ]\Ir 

 Forster adds the crowded germens and the greater dissimilarity of colour 

 on the two sides of the leaf. 



45. S. rupestris, Donn, {silky Rock Salloiv); " stem trailing, 

 leaves obovate acute serrated flat even silky on both sides, sti- 

 pules hairy, branches minutely downy, germens stalked awl- 

 shaped silky, style as long as the blunt undivided stigmas." Sm. 

 E. Bot. t. 2342. Salict. Wob. p. 221, t. 111. 



Near Blanchland, Northumberland. Rocks of Craigalleach and Mael 

 Ghyrdy, Scotland. FL May. Tj . — I do not understand this species, I 

 must confess ; notwithstanding that Mr Borrer has kindly assisted me 

 with specimens. Indeed he himself says " the gerinen is silky or naked, 

 unless I unite different things." Mr Forbes observes that it is very dis- 

 tinct from the two preceding and that its branches are tough and useful 

 for tying, &c. 



46. S. petrcca. And. MS. (dark-green Rock Salloiv); "erect, 

 young shoots densely hairy, leaves oblong serrated carinate 

 twisted reticulated with deeply sunken veins, beneath hairy 

 glaucous at length pale green, stipules large half-heart-shaped 

 flattish with few glands, germen stalked naked wrinkled towards 

 the point, style divided, longer than the cloven stigmas." Borr.

Breadalbane. Cultivated by the Duke of Bedford, Mr Forster, and 

 Mr Borrer, from plants gathered in Britain by the late Mr G. Ander- 

 son, who gave to the species the name of S. petrcea. FL May. T? . — My
