A bushy shrub, with curved diity brown coloured branches, slightly 
downy when young. Leaves of a bright green above, and nearly

a prominent mid-rib and lateral veins, elliptic oblong, acutely pointed 
the margin crenato-dentated. Stipules small, sub ovate, entire, or 
toothed. Catkins at first sessile, becoming elevated on short leafy 
stalks. Scales oblong, purplish, fringed with long silky hairs. Cap- 
sules linear, awl-shaped, with an ovate base, smooth. Style long, cleft 
at the top. Stigmas bifid, downy.

43, 8. Damasce'na, Forbes. Damson leaved Willow. “ Young

silky when young, at length nearly naked, green on both sides; 
stipules half heart-shaped; catkins (in flower) longer than the floral 
leaves; scales obovate; germen stalked, naked; style divided, longer 
than the diverging stigmas.”—Borrer.

Synopsis, p. 234. 
This species, it is remarked by Mr. Borrer, is “ perhaps too nearly 
allied to S. Andersoniana, to be properly regarded as a species. In 
that plant the leaves, especially the lower ones, are more oblong, and 
their under side is not so absolutely devoid of a glaucous tinge; the 
catkins are shorter, and rarely overtop the larger and generally leaf- 
like bracteas ; the flowers, except that they are more loosely set, and 
their calyx scales more oblong and blacker, are very nearly the same 
in structure.” 
Habitat—South of Scotland and the Borders. 
Shrub; flowering in April. 
44, §. Forsteria'na, Smith. (Fig. 1516.) Glaucous Mountain Sallow, 
Catkins sessile, becoming elevated on a short leafy stalk; capsules 
awl-shaped, with an ovate base, silky; style as long as the blunt 
emarginate or bifid stigmas; leaves elliptic obovate, acute, slightly 
downy, glaucous beneath, crenated ; stipules rounded, recurved, 
crenated.
