The Rev. E. F. Linton states (Journ. Bot. xxxiv, 468 (1896)) that he failed to produce this hybrid artificially. 
Rare and critical ; recorded for Perthshire. 
Also recorded for Sweden, Germany, and central Europe.

( 1 905 ) ; v. Seemen in Ascherson und Graebner Syn. iv, 327 (1910); x S. semireticulata White in Journ. Linn. 
Soc. xxvii, 444 (1890)!. 
Exsiccata : — Herb. White 1 2 , 403. 
Young branches long, slender, trailing. Stipules usually caducous. Petioles about a quarter 
as long as the laminae. Laminae broadly elliptical, truncate or subcordate at the base, serrate- 
crenate or entire, more or less hairy above when young, at maturity dark green above, shining, 
rugose, about 1*3 — 2 '5 cm. long and i - 3 — 2'o broad. Catkins lateral, on leafless peduncles about 
as long as the catkins, ovate, small, dense-flowered. Nectaries much longer than the gynophore. 
Style short. Stigmas as long as the style, stout, bifid. Capsules shortly stalked, almost or quite 
glabrous at maturity. 
White has two sheets of type-specimens (no. 402). With regard to them the Rev. E. F. Linton suggests that the 
plant is S. herbacea x nigricans. 
Found by Mr James Brebner, of Dundee, in Perthshire, at an altitude of about 950 m. ; a critical plant. 
Also recorded for the Tyrol by Giirke (loc. cit.).
