An erect shrub, about ten feet high, with short straggling branches, 
greenish brown, slightly downy when young. Leaves dark green, 
smooth and shining, glaucous beneath, with a prominent downy mid- 
rib and lateral veins, the margin more or less distinctly crenated, 
Jootstalk short, somewhat downy. Stipules small, half heart-shaped, 
often wanting. Catkins appearing before the leaves, at first sessile, 
becoming elevated on a short leafy stalk. Scales oblong lanceolate, 
hairy, the upper half dark brown. Capsules downy, becoming 
smooth, lanceolate, with an ovate base, elevated on a short hairy 
stalk. Style rather longer than the bifid stigmas. 
Habitat—Mountainous parts of England; Yorkshire, Westmore- 
land, &c.; and Breadalbane, Scotland. 
Shrub ; flowering in April and May. 
56. S, tenui‘folia, Smith Fl. Br. (thin leaved Willow). “ Leaves 
elliptical, acute, serrated, nearly glabrous, glaucous beneath ; stipules 
small, or none; scales hairy ; capsules ovate, glabrous, on a short 
smooth stalk.” 
Smith Fl. Brit. p. 1052.—English Botany, t. 2795, but not t. 2186, 
according to Mr. Borrer, which is S. bicolor of Ehrh, not Smith.—

Habitat.— Above the Bridge of Kirkby, Lonsdale, 1783. 
Shrub ; flowering in May. 
Of this very doubtful species Mr. Borrer observes that the best 
authenticated specimens he has seen scarcely differ from the pre- 
ceding, but in having the germens and its stalk perfectly glabrous. 
7. S. ni'tens, And. MSS. (Fig. 1526) Shining leaved Willow. 
Catkins on short leafy stalks: capsules lanceolate, downy; style 
longer than the stigmas; leaves ovate, or elliptical, acute, slightly
