Rather moist woods and hedges, frequent. 1^ . 4, 5 A small 



tree, seldom above 20 feet. Not to be distinguished from the two 

 last when in flower, except by the shorter stigmas. Mr. Borrei- ob- 

 serves that it is the S. lanceolafa of Seringc : in that species, however, 

 the stigmas appear to be constantly cloven, in ours constantly en- 

 tire, 



25. S. ferrughiea And. {ferruginous S.) ; leaves lanceolate 

 with wavy crenatures and small teeth minutelj hairy on both 

 sides paler beneath, stipules small half-ovate, sti<^mas oblon

Near Carlisle; Kirkby- Lonsdale ; banks of the Thames; Nut- 

 hurst, Sussex. Fifeshire. k- 4, 5. — According to Mr. Forbes, a 

 shrub, 12—14 feet high. Leaves less hairy than tlie last. Mr. Babing- 

 ton refers it to S, Smithiayia.

xi. Stamens 2, distinct Capsules lanceolate-acuminate, silky, tomentose, 

 conspicuously stalked; stalks three (or 'more) times longer than the 

 nectary. Style none or much shorter than the ovate or oblong thick 

 Stic/mas. Catkins sessile, lateral, at first short, afterwards more lax, 

 appearing before the leaves; their scales discoloured at the end. Leaves 

 more or less wrinkled and stipuled, very veiJiy beneath : stipules with- 

 out glands on the inside. Trees or low shrubs. Cinere^e J^orr. 



2G. S. hohsericea Willd. {soft shaggy -flowered Willow)', 

 leaves lanceolate acuminate serrate glabrous above pale downy 

 and strongly veined beneath, catkins cylindrical, germens 

 sta ked densely clothed with silky wool, stigmas ovate sessile, 

 scales (black) ver-y shaggy. 



About Lewes, Sussex. \. 4,5. — This is a plant which Mr. 

 Borrer received from Sir J. E. Smith, marked S. acuminata, var. 

 ru^osa; but which he thinks probably allied to the S. hohsericea of 

 Wild, and distinguishes it from the true S. acuminata by its sessile 

 pale-coloured i>tiymas, and leaves greener and more ruj?ose above and 

 more strongly veined beneath: trusting to which we have removed it 

 from the Viminales to the present section. 



27. S. cinerea L. (gray Sallow) ; leaves obovate obovato- ellip- 

 tical or obovato-lanceolate, autumnal ones pointed even serrate 

 leticulated with prominent veins nearly glabrous and glaucous 

 Dencath with the margins sometimes recurved, stipules rounded 

 lootlied upper ones often half-cordate, style very short or none,
