Habitat.—Near Lewes, Sussex, and in Angusshire, Scotland, 
A small tree ; flowering in April and May. 
The branches and twigs of this plant are annually cut down, but 
they are much less elastic than many of the other species, and are 
applied only to the uses of making crates, hampers, and the larger 
kinds of basket work, and for these purposes it is not stripped of its 
bark
