separate it from 8. repens, of which it is probably merely a variety, 
as Dr. Wimmer considers it. The large leaves given on the original 
plate, Engl. Bot. ed. i. 1366, have clearly nothing to do with the plant 
figured. 
Wimmer refers the S. rosmarinifolia of “ English Botany, 1365,” to 
S, viminalis-repens, Lasch., which he considers the true rosmarinifolia 
of Linneus. This is the S. Friesiana of Anderson. It differs from 
our plant in its narrower leaves, with the margins more revolute when 
young; it has also longer oblong catkins, subsessile capsules, and, 
according to Anderson, a more or less evident style, though Wimmer 
describes a form with the style obliterated.

Shrubs with strigose-pilose branches and broad woolly leaves, or trees 
with purple pruinose branches, 
and leaves like those of S. alba or 
S. undulata, but differing from these species by their sessile catkins, 
black-tipped catkin-scales, and 2 stamens.

Branches flaccid, violet, with a pruinose bloom, glabrous. Leaves 
narrowly elliptical-strapshaped or linear-elliptical, wedgeshaped at the 
base, longly acuminate and very acute, very finely callous-serrate,

Catkin-scales triangular, acuminated, very acute, dense, pilose, with
