 ,S. regalis, Hort. These forms, not easily 

 distinguishable from one another, can be 

 readily distinguished from the following spe- 

 cies. 



7. vitellina, Linn. (-S'. hhitida, Anderss.). 

 Yellow' WiLLOw\ Becoming a very large and 

 venerable appearing tree, the rather short 

 trunk often 4 ft. or more in diam. It is often 

 pollarded. The crown is deliciuescent and 

 rounded in outline. Branches yellow: Ivs. 

 silky-hairy when young, glabrous when ma- 

 ture, glaucous beneath, the whiteness inten- 

 sified after the Ivs. fall. Aments appearing 

 with the leaves. Abundant in E. N. Amer. 

 Mn. 8, p. 21 (erroneously as S. «?&«). — Dis- 

 playing many variations, the most obvious of 

 which are; Var. aurea, Salisb. {var. aifrau- 

 t'laca, Hort.), branches golden yellow, espe- 

 cially just before the leaves appear in spring. 

 Var. Britzensis, Hort., liark red. These as 

 well as other choice varieties are grafted. Var. 

 pSndula, 8. H. 2:361, 371. Gn. 55, pp. 15, 22. 



8. Babylonica, Linn. (S. 2'^«dula,Noencb). 

 Napoleon'.s Willow. Fig. 223-1. A tree of 

 weeping habit, 30-40 ft. high, with long, slen- 

 der, olive-green branches; buds small, acute: 

 Ivs. 2-0 in. long, attenuate at base and apex: 

 aments appearing with the Ivs., slender, the 

 pistillate green: capsule small, 1 in. long, 

 ('aucasus. Gn. 1, p. 371; 34, p>. 527; 31), p. 

 72: 55, p. 92. S.H. 1:261. — Long known in 

 eultivafion and often grown in cemeteries. 

 Several forms recognized, some of which 

 may be hybrids; Var. aiirea, Flort., branches 

 golden yellow. Var. annnlaris, Forbes, Ivs. 

 twisted back so as to form a sort of ring.

 for this. Var. Jap6nica, Thunb., Ivs. more

 habit and larger crown than S. Bahijlonicu:
