** Stigmas thick, oblong, or linear-oblong. Ovary distinctly stalked; 
the stalk scarcely twice as long as the nectary. 
24. S. *acumiiidta Sm. ( long-leaved S.) ; leaves lanceolate- 
oblong pointed wavy finely toothed glaucous and downy be- 
neath, stipules half- ovate, stigmas oblong or oblong-linear.

Rather moist woods and hedges, frequent, b* 4, 5. — A small 
tree, seldom above 20 feet. Not to be distinguished from the two 
last when in flower, except by the shorter stigmas. Mr. Borrer ob- 
serves that it is the S. lanceolata of Seringe : in that species, however, 
the stigmas appear to be constantly cloven, in ours constantly entire. 
25. S. ferruginea And. ( ferruginous S.) ; leaves lanceolate 
with wavy crenatures and small teeth minutely hairy on both 
sides paler beneath, stipules small half-ovate, stigmas oblong.

Near Carlisle; Kirkby-Lonsdale ; banks of the Thames; Nut- 
hurst, Sussex. Fifeshire. h • 4, 5. — According to Mr. Forbes, a 
shrub 12 — 14 feet high. Leaves less hairy than the last. 
xi. Stamens 2, distinct. Capsules lanceolate acuminate, silky, tomentose, 
conspicuously stalked; stalks three (or more ) times longer than the 
nectary. Style none or much shorter than the ovate or oblong thick 
stigmas. Catkins sessile, lateral, at first short, afterwards more lax, 
appearing before the leaves ; their scales discoloured at the end. Leaves 
more or less wrinkled and stipuled, very veiny beneath ; stipules with- 
out glands on the inside. Trees or low shrubs. Cinerea Sorr .' 
26. S. holosericea Willd. ? ( soft shaggy -flowered W.)-, “ leaves 
lanceolate acuminate serrate glabrous above pale downy and 
strongly veined beneath, catkins cylindrical, ovaries stalked 
densely clothed with silky wool, stigmas ovate sessile, scales 
(black) very shaggy.” Borr. 
About Lewes, Sussex. h . 4, 5 This Mr. Borrer received 
from Sir J. E. Smith, marked S', acuminata var. rugosa, but from 
which he considered it must be separated by its sessile pale-coloured 
stigmas and leaves more green and rugose above and more strongly 
veined beneath ; and if the character from the stigmas be correct, it 
ought to be removed from the Viminales to the present section ; our 
specimens from Mr. Borrer are, however, destitute of flowers and 
fruit. Mr. Babington, considering it distinct from Willdenow’s plant, 
adopted the name of S’, rugosa in the 1st and 2nd editions of his 
Manual ; in the 3rd and 4th he has united it, and also S. ferruginea, 
to S. Smithiana. 
27. S. cinerea L. (gray Sallow')', leaves obovate obovato-ellip- 
* Mr. Bentham unites S. holosericea, cinerea, and Caprea under the latter name, 
but distinguishes S. aurita thus : S'. Caprea, sterile catkins oblong very silky, cap- 
sules 3-4 lines long, leaves ovate or oblong. S. aurita , sterile catkins cylindrical 
rather silky, capsules 2-3 lines long, leaves mostly obovate.
