BAY-LEAVED WILLOW 



GENERAL REMARKS.— (Willow Leaves.) 



T would seem as if Nature in her dislike of repetition 

 had exploited every variation upon a preconceived model 

 in the making of Willow leaves ; each species being 

 distinguished from its fellow by some slight yet skilful 

 modification of the original type, to which all might be referred. 

 But with the Bay-leaved Willow she has so far exhausted her 

 ingenuity in the one direction as to make use of another model.
