An erect shrub or low tree, with erect light brown round spreading 
branches, silky when young. eaves linear lanceolate, acute at each 
end, with minute distant teeth, a smooth bright green above, dull, 
and somewhat glaucous beneath, and more or less silky, with close 
pressed hairs, when young mostly silky all over, footstalks short, 
slender, rarely with stipules at the base. Catkins ovate, hoary, erect, 
on short stalks, bearing a few lanceolate tapering leaves. Scales 
obovate, obtuse or notched, black or purplish, villous and bearded. 
Capsules ovate, acuminate, densely pubescent, on a short stalk. 
Style short, thick, with large broad thick obtuse entire erect stigmas, 
mostly of a tawny colour. 
Habitat.—Highlands of Scotland; Clove Mountains, near Dum- 
fries. 
Shrub ; flowering in April. 
This is nearly allied to the last species. ‘‘ Still,” Sir W. J. Hooker 
remarks, “ [I agree with Myr. Borrer in thinking them distinct, though 
the difference lies almost entirely in their germens ; these are shorter 
in the present plant, with denser, less glossy, and less truly silky 
hairs, with ovate and quite entire stigmas, and more shaggy scales.” 
The S. Arbuscula, a native of Switzerland, &c., is, we are assured by 
Mr. Borrer, quite a different plant from the above, for which reason 
at his suggestion Hooker has given it the name of S. angustifolia, as 
being probable the plant of Wulfen. 
Group 8. Fusee. Borrer. Smaill shrubs, with generally procumbent 
stems and leaves, between elliptical and lanceolate, mostly silky 
beneath, nearly entire. Catkins ovate, or cylindrical. Germens 
silky, striated. 
20. S. Donia'na, Smith. (Fig. 1494.) Donian Willow. Catkins 
cylindrical, erect, on short leafy branches; capsules ovate oblong, on 
hort stalks, silky; scales obovate, bearded; styles short; stigmas 
ovate, thick, entire; leaves partly opposite, obovate lanceolate, acute, 
slightly serrated, livid, and somewhat silky beneath ; stipules linear.

Synopsis, p. 282. 
A shrub about six feet high, branched from the base, with erect 
straight round leafy branches, of a reddish brown colour, somewhat 
downy when young. Leaves obovate, lanceolate, somewhat serrated 
towards the point, the margins somewhat recurved, the upper side 
flat, or slightly convex, a grass green, smooth, without or with a few 
scattered hairs, livid, and somewhat glaucous beneath, silky and
