Isles. It has been recorded for northern Scandinavia.]

White (Joe. cit.) believed that two plants collected by Messrs Linton, on cliffs at Armadale, Sutherlandshire, should be 
referred to this hybrid ; but the Rev. E. F. Linton ( Journ . Bot. xxxiv, p. 466) thinks the plants in question are S. cinerea 
x repens. Mr Marshall’s no. 2959 is a dwarf shrub, erect (up to about i’3 m. high) or procumbent; laminae pubescent, 
serrate ; catkins not seen. 
Apparently very rare ; Perthshire, Aberdeenshire. 
Also recorded for Sweden, Finland, and central Europe.

Small tree or large shrub, attaining a height of about 6 — 9 m. Young branches usually 
blackish, rather stout, pubescent. Young wood, when the bark is stripped, is stated (MM. Camus 
op. cit., passim) to be striate. Stipules often persistent, variable in size and shape, often rather 
dentate. Petioles rather short, distinct. Laminae obovate to elliptical, attenuate to rounded at the 
base, somewhat undulate or subdentate or irregularly serrate, rounded or acute to subacuminate 
at the apex, often from about 4’o — 6'5 cm. long, variable in breadth, often from about 1*5 — 
2 - 5 cm. broad, narrower than in S. caprea, pubescent on both surfaces. Catkins sessile or sub- 
sessile, dense-flowered, more slender than those of S. caprea, appearing before the leaves ; late 
March and April, later than A", caprea. Bracts hairy. Nectary small, greenish. Staminate catkins 
ovoid, about 2 — 3 cm. long and 1 ‘O — 1 ‘5 broad, upper flowers opening before the lower ones. 
Filaments free, pilose at the base. Anthers reddish-yellow when very young to orange-yellow just 
before dehiscence. Pistillate catkins longer and narrower than in 5 '. caprea. Style short or almost 
absent, rarely rather long. Stigmas bifid, stout. Capsules on long pedicels, pubescent ; May and 
early June.
