LXVILI. SALICA'CEZE: SALIX, 749 
previously to 1810. Flowers yellow; March and April, before the ex- 
pansion of the leaves. 
Branches dark violet-coloured, slender, upright, and covered all over with a 
whitish powder, like the bloom of a plum. A very beautiful species.

Synonymes. 8. pre‘cox Hoppe in Sturm D. Fl. \. 25.3 S. bigémmis Hoffm. Germ. 2. p. 260.; S. 
cinérea Host Sal. Austr. 1. p. 8. t. 26,27. Mr. Borrer, in a letter, has remarked that Smith has 
erroneously cited, in his Flora Brit., S. daphnoides Villars as a synonyme of S. cinérea Smith ; and 
that this has led Koch to cite S. cinérea Smith as a synonyme of S. daphniides Villars. 
The Seces. Both sexes are figured in Sal. }ob., and in Host Sal. Austr.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves broadly lanceolate, and pointed, with glandular ser- 
ratures, smooth, glaucous beneath. Catkins appearing before the leaves. 
Ovary sessile, ovate, smooth. Style elongated. (Vill.) A rapid-growing 
tree, with dark greyish branches, slightly covered with a powder, or bloom, 
similar to that of S. acutifolia ; the branches ascending obliquely. Swit- 
zerland and the South of France. Height 25ft. to 30ft. Introduced in 
1820. Flowers yellow, from large crimson buds in February. 
A very ornamental species, as appears by the engraving in the following page. 
¥ 9. S. PomERA’Nica Willd. The Pomeranian Willow. 
Identification. Willd. Enum. Supp., 66. ; Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 153. 
Synonyme. S. daphnoides Villars, var. with narrower leaves, and more slender catkins. (Koch 
Comm. p. 23.) Mr. Borrer, in his manuscript list of grouped species, has indicated it as being 
probably a variety of S. daphndides. 
The Sexes. The female is described in Sal. Wob. 
Spec. Char. §c. Leaves lanceolate, tapering at both extremities, serrated ; 
smooth and shining above, glaucous underneath. Stipules ovate, serrated ; 
their margins generally revolute. Catkins about 1 in. long. Ovary ovate, 
smooth. Style longer than the parted stigmas. (Willd.) A rapid-growing 
tree. Pomerania. Height 20 ft. to 30ft. Introduced in 1822. Flowers 
yellow ; February and March. 
The branches are long, smooth, round, shining, and copiously covered with 
small yellow dots: the preceding year’s shoots are covered with a violet- 
coloured powder, similar to that on the shoots of S. acutifolia. 
Group iii. Zridndre Borrer. (Syn. Amygdalinze Koch.) 
Osier Willows, with three Stamens ina Flower. Prin. sp. 14, 15. 
fallalie 
Stamens 3. Leaves lanceolate, approaching to ovate, serrated, glabrous: 
having large, rounded, toothed, more or less deciduous, stipules. Flowers 
loosely disposed in the catkin, Pistil stalked. Ovary mostly glabrous. — 
Most of the kinds constitute excellent osiers, and become trees if left to 
themselves. (Hook.) The kinds may be denominated, generally, the osiers 
with 3 stamens in a flower. Most, or all, when in the state of larger shrubs 
and trees, have their older bark exfoliated in broad patches, as in Platanus 
occidentalis Z. and P. orientalis Z. Most, or all, are ornamental as shrubs, 
for their lanceolate, glossy, serrated leaves, and their flowers.
