which, and especially In those from the younger Jacquin preserved in the Smithian collection, the 

 bracteal loaves are large and closely resemble those of the leafy twigs; and the scales of the 

 catkin are naked, except a marginal fringe." {Borrtr in E/ig. Bot. Suppl., t. 2656.) The S. Wul- 

 f'on;. fi.i of Willdenow appears to be a native of Carinthia, where it was found by Wulfen. It 

 Bowers from May to July, and was introduced in 1818.

^ S. aretiea R.Br., in his List of the Plants collected in Ross's Voyage. Koch, in his Comm., p. 61., 

 note *, considers this species about intermediate between S. JacquimJ Host and S. reticulata L. ; and 

 he lias described it. He states it to be a native of the most northern part of America, Hudson's Bay, 

 Melville Island, &C It is also described by Dr. Richardson, in App. to Franklin's First Journey, 

 \ (voiding to Dr. Lindley {Nat, Syst. of Bot.), it is the most northern woody plant that is 

 known. Mr. Borrer considers it to be near S. cordifblia 1'ursh. 



- S desertorum Rich, and S. rostrata Rich, are mentioned by Dr. Richardson, in App. to Frank' 

 tin's First Jour net/, as new species. 



*t S. cinerdscens Link MSS. (Willd. Sp. PL, 4. p. 70t>. ; Smith in Rees's Cyclo.,No. 132.), the ash- 

 coloured Portuguese willow, lias the leaves oblong-obovate, pointed, and serrated; hoary with down 

 beneath. Stipules large, lunate, and toothed. {Willd. and Smith.) A native of marshes in Portugal. 

 This kind is supposed by Koch to be probably identical, or nearly so, with the S. grandifblia of 

 Scringe ; and it appears "to belong to the group Cinerea?.

 and it appears to resemble S. caprea. 



_* S. divaricate Pall. El Ross., 2. p. 80., Willd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 675., Smith in Rees's Cyclo., No. 52. 

 This species is a native of the alps of Dauria, where it grows among granite rocks, over which it 

 spreads in a prostrate form. The stem is about as thick as the finger, very much divided, and forked 

 from its origin, with short, rigid, depressed, yellowish brown branches. The leaves are crowded 

 about the ends of the shoots j in some specimens lanceolate, and nearly entire ; in others obovate- 

 lanceolate, coarsely serrated, the serratures somewhat wavy and obtuse : both sides are quite smooth. 

 Fallas states that this kind resembles the S. phylicifolia of Linna?us. (Smith.)

 extreme shoots scarcely 1 in. long, and on very short footstalks, obovate, obtuse, with a point, and 

 clothed on both sides with white hairs. (Thunb. and Smith.)
