Mountainous parts of Great Britain, not uncommon. Yorkshire and 

 Westmoreland ; Breadalbane, Scotland. FL Apr. May. Tj .—Mr Borrer 

 suspects that the fertile S. Croweana of JE. FL belongs to this species. 



56. S. tenuifolia, Sm. Fl. Br. {thin-leaved Willow); " leaves 

 elliptical acute serrated nearly glabrous glaucous beneath, sti- 

 pules small or none, scales hairy, capsule ovate glabrous on a 

 short smooth stalk." S?n. Fl. BnL p. 1052 {not E. Hot., accord-

Above the bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale, 1783. FL May, June.Tj.-^ 

 Of this Mr Borrer observes, that the best authenticated specimens he 

 has seen, scarcely differ from the preceding, but in having the gertnen 

 and its stalk perfectly glabrous. 



57. S. nitens. And. MSS. {shining -leaved Willow) ; " leaves 

 ovate or elliptical acute slightly serrated nearly naked with 

 sunk veins above, naked and glaucous beneath, stipules small, 

 catkins on short stalks, bracteas small, calyx-scales oblong hairy 

 longer than the hairy stalk of the germen, style longer than the 

 stigmas." Borr.—E. FL v. \v. p. 175. Salict. Wob. p. 87, «.44.

 — A bushy shrub, 10 — 12 feet high. 



58. S. Croweana, Sm. {Croicean Willow); stamens combined

 beneath. E. Bot. t. 1146. Salict. Wob. p. 103, t. 52. 



Swampy meadows and thickets. Norfolk. N. of England. FL Apr. 



May. Tj Mr Borrer presumes that the connate filaments were but an 



accidental monstrosity in that individual from which all the plants, that 

 he has examined, have originated : and Mr Forbes describes and figures 

 in the " Salictum," a still more remarkable structure : " the barren cat- 

 kins changing into fertile ones, with the sti/le and stigma perfect, as in 

 the fertile Jiuret." He has watched the progressive change and ob- 

 served that the monadelphous filaments appeared a little thicker in the 

 middle, where they were united and gradually became pistils. — A simi- 

 lar alteration has been remarked by Mr Borrer in S. oleifoUa, and by 

 Mr R. Gee =n S. cinerea. (See E. FL v. iv. p. 216, and 220.) Sir J. E. 

 Smith describes the germens of S. Crutceana as downy ; Mr Borrer 

 finds them nearly glabrous, as figured in Salict. Wob. 



59. S. bicolor, Ehrh. {two-coloured Willoiv); leaves elliptical 

 green and shining above, glabrous and glaucous beneath serrated
