 FL Apr. and again in July (Forbes). T2 . — I believe the sterile plant 

 alone of this, is certainly known. In what Mr Borrer considers to be 

 its fertile state, the adult leaves, he says, are mostly quite without hairs, 

 whilst those of the sterile plant are rather plentifully but inconspicuously 

 sprinkled, especially on the under side : as j\lr Forbes indeed observes 

 in the description of the young leaves of h'\5 fioribunda, a plant received 

 by him from Mr E. Forster, as the S. tenuifolia, E, Bot. 



60. S. philh/reifolia, Borr. {Philhjrea-leaved Willow); leaves 

 elliptic-lanceolate acute at each end strongly serrated naked on 

 both sides glaucous beneath, stipules small, young shoots pubes- 

 cent, scales oblong hairy longer than the glabrous stalk of the 

 glabrous gerinen, style as long as the stigmas. Borr. in E. 

 Bot. Suppl. t. 2660. 



Highland vallies of Scotland, in Invemess-shire and Perthshire. Fl. 

 Apr. Tj . — " A beautiful and apparently distinct Willow, bearing con- 

 siderable resemblance in its foliage to Phillyrea latifolia. It differs 

 from S. bicolor and S. Dicksoniana, which have leaves approaching to 

 obovate with a point, and which are, for the most part, obsoletely ser- 

 rated." Borr. 



61. S. Dicksoniana, Sm. (broad-leaved Mountain Willow); 

 " leaves elliptical acute slightly toothed glabrous glaucous be- 

 neath, young branches very glabrous, catkins ovate short erect, 

 germens stalked ovate silky, stigmas nearly sessile." E. Bot.

Scotland. Fl. Apr. Tj . — I remarked, in Fl. Scot., that my speci- 

 mens of this plant from Mr Borrer, did not accord with the F. Bot. 

 figure, but closely resembled S. radicans. The same individuals have 

 been reviewed by Mr Borrer and returned without any observation ; 

 from which I infer that they are what he still considers the true Dick- 

 soniana. Now these accord precisely with the S. Dicksoniana which 

 the Duke of Bedford received from various collections as such : and the 

 discrepance between it and the figure in E. Bot. did not escape the 

 notice of Mr Forbes, who has, in addition to the Woburn plant, repre- 

 sented a catkin and pistil from E. Bot. I can therefore only repeat 

 what I have said in Fl. Scot., that if S. Dicksoniana be a good species, 

 I am quite unacquainted with it.

 shrubs ; ivith leaves bearing a considerable resemblance to those 

 of a Vaccinium, opaque, glaucous beneath. Germens downy,

 cous and silky beneath, capsules ovate silky, stems decumbent.
