cattle will eat them very well when cut into small pieces. They call it Wharra tree at Otaheite. [Hawksw.

2()42. Salix. From the Celtic sal, near, and lis, water Our common name osier, seems to be a slight altera- 
tion of the Greek onricc, which means the same thing. This is a numerous and dilficult genus of trees and 
shrubs, with one or two exceptions limited in their range to the temperate regions of Europe and America. 
Many of the species are distinguished by such delicate shades, that only the most acute botanists can recognize 
them. Soil, situation, and climate produce so considerable a change in their appearance, as to render it 
difficult to determine what are species and what varieties. Those species which attain a timber size, are 
chiefly valued for the rapidity of their growth ; they produce a great bulk of trunk and lop in a short time, 
and the bark of most of the species has recently been used in tanning ; being, at an average of sorts, about, 
half as valuable as that of the oak. S. alba is considered the most valuable timber tree of the genus ; it has 
a branching stem, and tapering flame-shaped head. It may be seen pollarded by way-sides in most parts of 
Europe, in which state it is very productive of poles, fence wood, crate ware, fuel, and bark for the tanner, 
which is considered nearly as good as that of the oak. A variety of this species, called by Pontoy, the red
