Found by Sherard. Sent by Mr. Dickson to Mr. Crowe ( Sm . ) 
Pj . 4. — A slender, upright shrub, 2 — 3 feet high, with silky leaves, 
nearly glabrous in the adult plant. Whole plant, when dry, often 
turning almost black, as does the following. Mr. Leefe observes 
that 5. rosmarinifolia L. et Koch differs in the fertile catkins being 
almost round arid very short, buried in the floral leaves, and not 
curved as in E. Bot. : we find them to vary much in these respects. 
15. S.* anguslifulia Wulf. ? (little Tree W.) ; erect slender, 
leaves linear-lanceolate nearly glabrous with minute glandular 
teeth the young ones silky glaucous beneath, catkins ovate 
erect, ovaries ovate-acuminate silky stalked, style about as long 
as the broad erect entire stigmas, scales very villous nearly as 
long as the young ovaries afterwards often as short as the 
stalk to the capsule. S. Arbuscula Sin. : E. B. t. 1366 (not of 
continental authors). 
Scotland. Clova mountains. Near Dumfries. Tj- 4. — We 
have never seen wild specimens from this country, nor has Mr. 
Borrer. The large broad leaves represented in E. Bot. cannot 
belong to this species. Sir J. E. Smith in the E. FI. places this and 
the last widely apart ; they are certainly so closely allied that the 
difference lies almost entirely in their ovaries, which are broader at 
the base in the present plant, with ovate and quite entire stigmas, 
and more shaggy scales. 
16. S. Donidna Sm. ( Don's W.) ; branches at first procum- 
bent then erect and twiggy, leaves partly opposite oblong- 
lanceolate broadest above the middle acute slightly serrate 
eyen livid and somewhat silky beneath, stipules linear, catkins 
erect cylindrical compact, ovaries stalked silky longer than the 
obovate scale, stigmas short emarginate. E. B. S. t. 2599. 
Scotland, h . 5. — Shrub 6 feet or more high, resembling S. 
purpurea, but Mr. Borrer considers it correctly placed in the present 
division, on account of its stalked ovaries, which have little resem- 
blance to those of the Monandrce, but are closely analogous to those of 
S.fusca, to which species he thinks there is considerable affinity in 
the foliage also. We believe that the plant with sterile flowers is un- 
known. Mr. Babington and Mr. Leefe, indeed, mention that the 
stamens are said (on the authority of Koch) to be monadelphous, and 
the anthers ultimately yellowish-brown, not black ; but perhaps one 
of the Monandrce has been mistaken for it. 
17. S.fusca L. (dwarf silky IF); leaves elliptical ir elliptic- 
lanceolate or linear-lanceolate broadest about the middle acute 
entire or with minute glandular serratures somewhat downy 
glaucous and generally very silky beneath, ovaries upon a long 
stalk lanceolate very silky, stigmas bifid. S. repens Hook. 
Scot. 1. p. 284. — a. stem much branched upright decumbent 
below, leaves elliptical-lanceolate with a straight, point. S. 
fusca Sm. : E. B. 1. 1960. — /8. stem depressed with short up- 
right branches, leaves elliptical-lanceolate with a straight point.
