There is scarcely a species that has been so misunderstood 
as this. Even Mr. Bebb, who cleared up somewhat the dis- 
crepancy between S. arctica Pallas and S. arctica R. Br., 
had a very vague idea about the latter, for he included under 
the name S. Brownzd a number of quite distinct forms. The 
more or less fruticose species named SS. arctica or 5S. 
Brown from the Rocky Mountains, Canada, Newfound- 
land and Labrador do not belong here. S. anglorum is an 
arctic species and takes the place of S. arctica in the East. 
It is characterized by the rather long and prostrate branches, 
only the flowering branchlets being erect; the thin obovate 
or lance-obovate leaves; the exceedingly large catkins, 
which are rather loosely flowered below, and the large conic 
capsule, which is only moderately hairy. 
Anderson cites S. axglorum Cham. as a synonym of 3S. 
phlebophyla. As Chamisso does not describe any species 
and does not cite any specimens, but only gives the name 
and S. arctica R. Br. as a synonym, S. anglorum must be 
regarded as equivalent to that species. The name S. ang/o- 
rum must be therefore used, as it antedates S. Brownzz by 
thirty-seven years.
