 half-heart-shaped, acute. Catkins sessile, arched, attended by some scale-shaped leaves at the 

 base. Capsule ovate-lanceolate, tomentose, stalked; the stalk as long again as the gland. Style 

 short. Stigmas oblong, nearly entire. {Koch.) Wild in Portugal, the south of France, and Swit- 

 zerland. In Dauphine, Villars says that it serves as a stock on which to graft S. vitelllna. Smith 

 mentions that the trunk is about 10 ft. or 12 ft. high ; the leaves about 1J in. or 2 in. long, and some- 

 what revolute ; and the branches dark brown, hairy when young, and very brittle. Smith describes 

 ,S'. jalvircfolia and ,S'. Fluggedna as distinct species ; but it does not appear that he had seen speci-
