No — though a very experienced potanist, would guess at the affinity of this ed when out 
of flower. It is quite a sea-side species, creeping by the root, and should be cultivated in a moist 
salt soil, without which it will hardly thrive. Stems slender, trailing upon pon theground with scarcely 
an rudiments of angles. Leaves of a pale grey colour, abbr than in the French Willow,
