“This is a plant which Mr. Borrer received from Sir J. E. Smith, 
marked S. acuminata, var. rugosa ; but which he thinks probably 
allied to the S. holosericea, of Willd, and distinguishes it from the 
true acuminata, by its sessile pale coloured stigmas and leaves greener 
and more rugose above, and more strongly veined beneath. Mr. 
Forester says that Mr. Crowe regarded it as a variety of S. Smithiana, 
or as an undescribed species.’— Hooker. 
Habitat.— About Lewes, Sussex. 
Tree; flowering in April and May. 
Group 13. Cineree. Borr. Trees or low shrubs, with downy 
branches, and mostly obovate, grey, hoary, toothed, more or less 
wrinkled and stipuled leaves, very veiny beneath. Germens 
sericeo-tomentose.—The plants of this group are commonly called 
Sallows. 
33. 8. cine'rea, Linn. (Fig 1506.) Grey Sallow. Catkins sessile, 
with scaly bractea at the base, appearing before the leaves; capsules 
lanceolate, with an ovate base, downy, stalked; style short; stigma 
ovate, mostly entire; leaves elliptical, or lanceolate, obovate, a 
greyish green above, pubescent, and reticulated with veins beneath,

A tree, growing from twenty to thirty feet high, with crooked 
branches, and smooth reddish brown bark, downy when young. 
Leaves obovate or elliptic, ovate, or more or less lanceolate, entire, or 
more or less waved and serrated, with the margin slightly recurved, a 
greyish green, and nearly smooth above, paler beneath, more pu- 
bescent, and reticulated with elevated veins, the footstalks slender, 
without stipules, exccept on the young vigorous shoots they are half 
heart-shaped, becoming kidney-shaped, serrated on the margin. 
Catkins appearing before the leaves, sessile, with severai scaly bracteas
