nental specimens are usually more hairy than the British ones, 
though some of ours growing in marshy places are very downy, 
almost tomentose in the early stages of growth. It it a form 1 
would cultivate before going beyond S. cinerea. — J. Fraser. I 
agree to this. The less evident parent (S. caprea) is seen in the 
almost complete glabrescence of the flowering twigs and buds, 
the softly woolly younger leaves, and the pointed bracts. — J.F. 
Very interesting. I would suggest S. caprea x cinerea. — W. H. 
Pearsall. This appears to be S. caprea x cinerea. — H. W. Pugsley, 
S. caprea x viminalis [504], (See W. B. E. C. R. 1922, 224). 
Between Grove Mill and Hyde Mill, Hitchin, Herts , v.c. 20, 
July 30, 1922, March 5, Oct. 4, 1923. As there was difference 
of opinion in 1922 in regard to this bush, I again sent a sheet 
to Mr. Linton, who writes, “ S. caprea x viminalis , I agree. ’ The 
amount of striation is about the same as in [539] and [521]. 
Here also, I think, rusty hairs are absent. — J. E. Little. Although 
the small striations under the bark of this are more pronounced 
than in [521], I agree to the name entirely The tree or bush in 
this case is younger, or, at all events, growing with far more 
vigour than [521] — J.F. Notwithstanding a few rather long 
and uncharacteristic striations on the wood, I prefer this deter- 
mination. The stipules are those of S. viminalis , which are often 
variable and persistent. — W. H. Pearsall. I agree. — H. W. 
Pugsley. 
S. anrita L. [58]. Drier parts of Ireleth Moor, Dalton-in- 
Furness, N. Lancs., v.c. 69b, April 24 and July 4, 1923. — W. H. 
Pearsall. The one-year-old flowering twigs arc not yet glab- 
rescent, though this is of frequent occurence in many situations; 
and the specimens are pure <S. aurita. Twigs of flowering shoots 
rather more glabrescent than on another sheet of this number, 
and correctly named. — J.F. 
S. aurita L. [59]. Roadside, Black Dog, Dalton-in-Furness, 
N. Lancs., v.c. 69b, April 24, and Aug. 10, 1923. — W. H. Pearsall. 
The scales or bracts of the catkins are remarkably pale, and 
scarcely at all ferrugineous below the blackening tip, otherwise 
the specimens are typical. — J.F. 
S. cinerea L. [Ref. No. 57]. With yellow Iris in swampy 
hollow, which is under water in winter. Ireleth Moor, Dalton- 
in-Furness, N. Lancs., v.c. 69b, April, 24 and Aug. 10, 1923. 
W. H. Pearsall. The small catkins, and narrow bractcoles seem 
to point to an aurita element, but I cannot see anything further- 
in that direction.— J.E.L. I think this to be a form oiS. aurita
