5 . herbacea x lanata E. S. Marshall in Joum. Bot. xxxii, 212 (1894); Giirke Plant. Eur. ii, 37 (1897) 
including S. lanata var. sadlcri p. 28 ; A. et G. Camus Classif. Saul, ii, 258 (1905); Enander Sched. Scand. i, 27 — 34 
(1911). 
Among the putative hybrids of S. herbacea and A. lanata , Enander {op. cit. p. 27) includes x S. sommerfeldti Andersson, a plant 
which has usually been referred to S. herbacea x myrsinites (cf. p. 32). 
To the same parentage {S. herbacea x lanata ) Enander {op. cit. p. 28) also refers “ S. grahami Borrer ex parte." We believe, 
from the evidence of a note by Enander on a sheet in Herb. Kew. labelled A. grahami , that this opinion refers only to the 
specimen in question, and not really to x S. grahami at all. The practice of adding “ex parte ” or “ partim ” after the name 
of a plant when the part excluded was not meant to be included by the original author is to be condemned : yet it is not 
infrequently done, and confusion is thereby caused.

leones: — Syme in Journ. Bot., loc. cit., t. 158, as A. sadleri. 
Habit approaching that of 5 . lanata. Young branches rather stout. Stipules caducous or large, 
ovate and finely glandular-denticulate. Laminae ovate to elliptical-ovate, large, up to about 47 cm. 
long, entire or finely glandular-denticulate especially towards the base. Catkins on leafy peduncles. 
Bracts greenish, concolorous or darker towards the summit, covered with long white hairs. Ovary 
stalked. Style long, greenish-yellow. Stigmas yellow, bifid, about half as long as the style. 
Regarded by White {loc. cit.) as a remarkable form of S. lanata. It has also been regarded (cf. White, loc. cit.) as a 
hybrid of S. lanata and S. reticulata ; whilst the Rev. E. S. Marshall {Journ. Bot. xxxii, 212 (1894)) looks upon it as a 
form of S. herbacea x lanata nearer to S. herbacea than to S. lanata. 
Discovered by Sadler on rocky ledges in Aberdeenshire at an altitude of about 750 m. It has been 
cultivated since in various gardens. Not known elsewhere.

Exsiccata : — E. F. et W. R. Linton, 105, as S. herbacea x lanata. 
Undershrub or dwarf undershrub, with rhizomes. Young aerial branches softly hairy, soon 
becoming glabrous or subglabrous. Stipules caducous or small and ovate. Laminae suborbicular, 
subcordate or rounded at the base, more or less crenate-serrate, up to about 37 cm. long. Catkins 
lateral and terminal, on leafy peduncles, up to about 27 cm. long, lax-flowered. Bracts brownish, 
usually darker towards the summit, covered with long white hairs. Ovary narrow, glabrous, stalked. 
Style long and slender. Stigmas long, bifid. 
White {loc. cit.) regarded his x A. stephdnia as a hybrid of A. herbacea and A. lanata.

Young branches and buds with long caducous hairs. Stipules usually caducous. Petiole long.
