“ A not unusual form of S. caprea , L., but not S. sphacelata , Sm.” 
Smith’s description in £ Fi. Brit.’ is “ Salix foliis integerrimus 
ellipticis planis utrinque pubescentibus apice subsphacelatis, stipulis 
obsoletis, capsulis subulatis,” giving as a synonym, S. lanata , in herb. 
Lightfoot (non Linn.). The leaves are described as “ uncialia vel 
sesquiuncialia apice plerumque sphacelata, fusca. Amenta uncialia,” 
which shows it to be a starved alpine form of S. caprea. — Ed. 
Salix phylicifolia , L., v. Davalliana (Sm.). Dunbeath, Caithness, 
July, 1888. And var. Borreriana (Sm.). Lybster, Caithness. — W. 
R. Linton. “Are S. phylicifolia, L.” — Dr. F. Buchanan White. I 
believe Dr. White is of opinion that the varieties of phylicifolia are 
not worthy of being retained.— Ed. 
S. repens , L., b. fusca. In a boggy corner of Hayes Common, 
near Keston, Kent, 1888 . — Eyre de Crespigny. Also heathy 
road side, Honiley, Warwickshire, May, September, 1888. — H.

and many other species must be abandoned.” — Dr. F. Buchanan 
White.

Glostershire, May — July, 1888. New record for West Gloucester.

Co. 34 this variety is far more abundant than villosa . — J. Walter

it was much more widely spread, and more abundant. The colour, 
when growing, is a beautiful pale lemon. — E lizabeth Lomax. 
Beautiful specimens of a much desired plant. Its varietal name 
was originally given by Blomfield in ‘Flora Vectensis,’ and used by 
Syme in ‘ E. B.’ without acknowledgment. It should be var. citrina , 
Blomfield. — Ed.
