 in a letter. — The female is figured in Sal. Wob. and in Eng. Bot., 

 where Smith notes that he had not seen the catkins of the male. 

 For a leaf, see ouy fig. 36. in p. 161 1. Leaves elliptic ohlong, toothed, 

 wavy, thin and crackling, very glabrous. Stipules heart-shaped, 

 about equal to the footstalks. Bracteas obovate, bearded. Ovary 

 lanceolate, glabrous, on a short glabrous stalk. (Smith Eng. El.) 

 According to Koch, the leaves are obovate-oblong, serrated with 

 crowded and deepish teeth. (Comm., p. 43.) Sir J. E. Smith, who 

 considered this sort as a distinct species, described it as having an 

 aspect " altogether singular among our British willows, resembling 

 some sort of apple tree rather than a willow." The stem is from 3 ft. 

 or 4 ft. to 6 ft. high, crooked, with numerous irregular, spreading, 

 crooked, or wavy branches, most leafy about the ends ; their bark 

 blackish ; the young ones hairy. There are plants of S. hastata 

 and S. h. walifolia at Woburn and Flitwick.

 small, and appressed teeth, or almost entire. Accord- ",„.„ 

 ing to Forbes, the leaves are elliptic-lanceolate, sharply 

 serrated ; glabrous above, glaucous and slightly silky beneath ; the 

 lower leaves densely silky. Cc&kins about \ in. long. Ovary ovate, 

 downy, sessile. Style longer than the linear divided stigmas. The 

 old leaves appear to be nearly glabrous, and to correspond with the 

 figure of S. arbuscula in Flor. Lapp., pi. 8. fig.wz. (Sal. Wob., p. 275.) 

 Brought from Switzerland, by Lord G. W. Russell, in ? 1824; and 

 flowering, in the Woburn salictum, in May. A very pretty little 

 shrub, not above 1 ft. high. (Ibid.)

Synonymes. S. lanata, the kind No. 2., Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 71. ; S. lanata Koch, at least part 

 of Koch Comm., p. 53. ; ? S. caprea Fl. Dan., t. 245. The style is represented as bifid, and the stig- 

 mas as bipartite. (Hookerin E. B.) 'iS. chrysanthos Fl. Dan., t. 1057. , Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 71., 

 the kind No. 1. In Fl. Dan., t. 1057. , two styles to a flower are represented, though the plate, in 

 other respects, very faithfully represents my Lapland specimen of S. lanata, sent me by Dr. Wick- 

 strdm. {Hooker in Eng. Bot.) The S. chrysanthos Fl. Dan. and the Scottish S. lanata appear to 

 me widely different in foliage, the Scottish kind having its leaf much more orbicular, and generally 

 heart-shaped at the base. (Forbes in Sal. Wob.) Willd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 704., Smith in Rees's Cycl., 

 No. 127.

 chrysanthos Fl. Dan. are figured in Sal. Wob.

Spec. Char., cfc. Leaves roundish ovate, pointed, entire ; shaggy on both 

 surfaces ; glaucous on the under one. Ovary sessile, oblong, glabrous. 

 Styles four times as long as the blunt divided stigmas. (Smith Eng. Fl.) 

 Catkins clothed with long, yellow, silky hairs. Ovary nearly sessile, lan- 

 ceolate, longer than the style. Stigmas undivided. (Hooker in Eng. Bot. 

 Suppl.) Capsule upon a stalk that is longer than the gland. Stigmas 

 entire. (Koch Comm., p. 53.) Stamens 3 to a flower ; in some instances 2 ;
