British Flora, ed. 4. vol. i. p. 867.—S. arbuscula, var.—Lindley, 
Synopsis, p. 235. 
An erect shrub, often growing fifteen feet high, with crooked ash 
coloured branches,’downy when young. Leaves oblong, dark green, 
shining, and slightly hairy above, paler and more hairy beneath, be- 
coming almost smooth, the margins serrated, and often somewhat 
recurved, more or less keeled, and netted with sunken veins in a 
rugose manner. Stipules large, sessile, serrated, with glandular 
tipped teeth. Catkins sessile, or nearly so, becoming elevated, on 
short hairy leafy branches, and the catkins much elongated. Scales 
obovate, cr oblong, often emarginate, brown in the upper half, scat- 
tered over and fringed with silky hairs. Capsule lanceolate, with an 
ovate base, stalked, smooth, wrinkled towards the point. Style 
cloven, about one-third its length. Stigmas mostly cloven, thick, 
spreading. 
Habitat.—Breadalbane Mountains, Scotland. 
Shrub; flowering in May. 
The long dark shining leaves being more or less waved, and the 
large stipules render this a remarkable looking plant. It is, Mr. 
Borrer remarks, nearly allied to S. hirta, and still more perhaps to 
S. stylaris, of Seringe. 
47. S. propinqu'a, Borr. (Fig. 1519.) Flat leaved upright Mountain 
Willow. ‘ Erect young shoots, minutely pubescent ; leaves elliptical, 
obscurely crenated, nearly flat, with slightly sunken veins, nearly 
naked on both sides, pale green beneath; stipules small, vaulted, 
glandulose; germens stalked, silky towards the point; style longer 
than the notched stigmas.’—Borrer.

“ Finding in this some apparently distinctive characters, we 
venture, after much hesitation, to add another presumed species to a 
section of the genus, of which almost every species is doubtful.”— 
Borvrer. 
Habitat —* Discovered in Britain by Mr. Anderson.” 
Shrub ; flowering. 
Group 15. Bicolores. Borr. Leaves smooth, or nearly so, dark 
green above, very glaucous beneath, between obovate and lanceolate. 
Germens very silky. Twiggy bushes. 
48. S. tenu'ior, Borr. Narrow leaved intermediate Willow. 
«Leaves on slender stalks, obovate lanceolate, acute, obscurely 
crenate, flat, naked on both sides, glaucous beneath ; stipules acute, 
glandulose; catkins slender, lax; calyx scales acute, longer than the 
silky stalk of the capsule ; style longer than the ovate stigmas.”— 
Borrer.
