D52, ENGLISH BOTANY. 
A small shrub 2 to 4 feet high, with numerous thick tortuous 
knotted branches. Leaves 1 to 2 inches long, variable in form. Catkins 
few, produced from very large brown strigosely-hairy buds near the 
apex of the branches, the hairs falling off before the catkin emerges. 
The male catkins are 1 to 2 inches long; the female at length 2 to 
4 inches long, with blackish scales completely hidden by the very long 
canary-coloured hairs, which, however, in the female catkins soon fade 
to dull white after flowering. 
Woolly Broad-leaved Willow. 
Group V.—DAPHNOIDE. 
Capsule subsessile; style long; stigma bifid. 
Small shrubs with the catkins subsessile or shortly stalked, bracteate
