Scottish mountains, rare. First found in Glen Callater by Mr G. Don. 

 Head of the Glen of Dole, 2 miles W. of Acharne, the uppermost farm- 

 house of Clova, Angus-shire. Fl. May. Tj . — About three feet high, 

 with large pale greyish shaggy foliage, and catkins that may be reckon- 

 ed among the handsomest of the genus. This species Wahlenberg 

 considers the most beautiful in Sweden, if not in the whole world. " The 

 splendid golden catkins," he justly observes, " at the ends of the young 

 branches, light up, as it were, the whole shrub, and are accompanied 

 by the tender foliage, sparkling with gold and silver." The young plant 

 is clothed with copious, long, silky, yellowish hairs. Sir J. E. Smith 

 refers to the Fl. Dan, S. caprea, as this plant ; but that has the style 

 cleft and the stigmas bipartite. Again, in the S. chrysantha of the same 

 work, though in other respects it represents our plant, there are 2 styles 

 given in the plate ; so that Mr Forbes with justice doubts if it be the 

 same. The stamens are 2 or 3 in the real S. lanata, with their filaments 

 more or less combined.
