Shrubs, intermediate between the putative parents, and completing the transition. Young branches 
less hairy than in S. cinerea. Laminae ovate-lanceolate, smaller than in S. caprea x phylicifolia , less 
hairy at maturity than in S. cinerea or S. cinerea x nigricans. Catkins smaller than in S. cinerea and 
S. caprea x phylicifolia ; May. Style longer than in S. cinerea. Stigmas often bifid, yellowish or 
reddish. Capsules subglabrous or pubescent, stalked; June. 
The putative hybrids S. caprea x phylicifolia and S. cinerea x phylicifolia are with difficulty distinguished from each 
other ; and, until the hybrids have been artificially produced, the difficulties cannot be overcome. 
Perthshire, Forfarshire, and doubtless elsewhere. 
Also recorded for Scandinavia and France. 
[S. herbacea x phylicifolia 
Exsiccata : — E. F. et W. R. Linton, 108 (“arte facta ex A. herbacea $ x S . phylicifolia £ ” : Enander suggests 
that this is “ 5. phylicifolia var.” ; but perhaps he failed to notice that the specimen was produced by artificial 
crossing). 
Laminae ovate to obovate, rather smaller than in S. phylicifolia , rather dull above, subglaucous 
underneath. Catkins up to about 2-5 cm., on short peduncles, with a few leaves at the base, 
? lateral ; April. Bracts narrow. Ovaries shortly stalked, about 3 — 4 mm. long, pubescent. Styles 
rather long. Capsules stalked, thinly pubescent. 
As in this work we follow Enander in regarding x S. grahami and x S. moorii as forms of S. herbacea x lapponum, 
there is no record left of a natural British hybrid of S. herbacea x phylicifolia. Floderus (in Bih. Sv. Vet. Akad. Handl. 
xvii, iii, i, 50 (1891)) has a record for Sweden.]

Undershrub. Young branches shining. Stipules caducous or small. Petioles about 2 mm. long. 
Laminae oblong-lanceolate, rounded at the base, margin entire or subentire, acuminate, about 7 cm. 
long and 3 broad. Catkins peduncled, leafy at the base, dense-flowered. Bracts discolorous, hairy. 
Capsules rather stout, hairy, shortly stalked. 
Recorded for Perthshire and Forfarshire.
