The beauty and extreme Angularity of the blofloms | 
of this plant, joined to its great fcarcity, have * 
occafioned it to be univerfally fought after by | 
Botanifts and others ; who, not content with con- | 
templatiiig its beauties in its native ioil, are 4 
anxious to fee it grow in their gardens, in which, | 
however, they are generally difappointed, as it y 
very rarely thrives on trail fplanting. We faw, £

About Kilnfay, and mdre efpecially about Carr End 
Wenfledale, this is the riioft common fpecies of 
Willow, and Is much ufed for making the larger 
fort of balkets. Its leaves are glrifly, and exhale 
an odoriferous perfume in hot weather, which, 
joined to the beautiful appearance of the male- 
tree when in bloom; and the ferriale when in foed, 
render it one of the moft delirable trees our ifland 
jlaturally produces.

Helk's Wood near lngleton, where it ufed to be 
found ill plenty. We were fortunate enough to 
difeover this plant in confiderable plenty in the 
iieighbourho'od of Kilnfay, not only in the Woods 
with its ufual attendant, the red-flowered Helle- 
borinej but alfo in hilly pafture ground, with the 
Ophrys ovata ', but as fome gardeners in the 
neighbourhood had difeovered them, and were 
unremittingly employed iii digging up every one 
they found, we may venture to prophecy, that in 
a few years they will be rarely found here alfd.

We have no doubt but the Willow, to which we 
affigh this name, is a fpecies perfe&ly diftindt. It 
approaches neareft to the vitellina. Its twigs are 
remarkably tough. We found it on the edge of 
a rivulet which runs into Semer Water, Wenjle- 
dale... As cuttings of this and the two following 
Willows, introduced into our garden, have grown, 
we hope to be able to fpeak more decifively oh 
them at fome future period.

ing, is applied to many oeconomical purpofes.
