Synopsis, p. 235, 
An erect shrub, from twelve to fifteen feet high, with spreading 
light brown twigs, downy when young. Leaves elliptic oblong, not 
two inches long, tapering at each end with a sharp point, a dark 
green above, smooth, glaucous beneath, with a prominent mid-rib and 
reticulated veins, the margin unequally serrated, with glandular teeth, 
the footstalks rather slender, dilated at the base. Stipules half heart- 
shaped, or arrow-shaped, mostly small, glaudulous on the edges and 
disk. Catkins on short stalks, bearing at the base several small 
silky recurved floral leaves. Scales oblong or lanceolate, silky and 
fringed, the upper part dark brown, almost black. Capsule nearly 
smooth, on a hairy stalk, ovate lanceolate, pubescent towards the 
point when young, smooth in maturity. Style about as long as the 
bifid spreading stigmas, pale, becoming brown. 
Habitat—Breadalbane Mountains, Scotland.—Mr. Borrer. 
Shrub ; flowering in May. 
This, Mr. Borrer remarks, is a much taller shrub than 8. Davai. 
liana, with leaves rather longer and more spreading, less shining, and 
of a duller green above, and whiter on the under side, and the flowers 
differ, as will be seen from the descriptions.

becoming elevated on leafy stalks ; capsules downy, lanceolate, with 
an ovate base; scales oblong, hairy; style longer than the bifid 
stigmas; leaves elliptical, rhomboidal, or almost round, with a short 
point, naked, glaucous beneath, the margin mostly obsoletely crenated ; 
stipules small, often wanting.
