274 FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 
[S. acuminata, Sm. To which has been referred (incorrectly) Sherard’s 
‘Salix caprea acuto longoque folio’ frequently about Oxford. ‘Tis not of 
young shoots but always so,’ Ray. Syn. In the Dillenian herbarium it is 
represented by a Caprea form, not acuminata to which Walker refers it, 
and which has not been definitely recorded for the county. Sibthorp’s 
acuminata was aggregate cinerea. |
