6. Salix speciosa ; ramis robustis densissime flavo-sericeis, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis acutis

Although there is no fructification on the specimen of this plant, yet it is altogether so remai-kable in 
appearance, and so unlike any other Salix with which we are acquainted, or can find described, that we 
venture on giving it a name aud character. The branch is about a foot long, strait, and very stout in pro- 
portion to its length ; covered throughout, but especially towards the extremity, with remarkably dense 
upright yellow silljy hairs. Leaves four inches or more long, an inch or an inch and half broad, moderately 
firm, quite entire, acute, oblongo-lanceolate, tapering into a densely woolly footstalk, about half an inch 
long, dilated considerably at the base, where it embraces a densely silky leaf-bud: the upper side of the leaf 
has only a few scattered lax woolly hairs, beneath it is white and cottony. Stipules linear-subulate, longer 
than the petiole, membranaceous, bronm, woolly.
