Laminae broader, catkins larger, and style usually stouter than in var. acutifolia. Laminae 
rather smaller, less suddenly acuminate, and catkins larger than in var. pomeranica. 
As pointed out by Forbes {loc. cit.) the white hairs of the catkins begin to protrude from the buds even in the early 
days of October; and the catkins are often in full flower in February. 
Planted in shrubberies on damp soil, as near Huntingdon, and in hedgerows, as near Hertford ; Ireland, co. 
Down ; and doubtless elsewhere.

Buds pubescent, smaller than in var. praecox. Laminae rather larger, narrower, more abruptly 
acuminate. Catkins smaller and more slender; February and March.

Laminae narrower than in the other two varieties, about 1 cm. broad, more gradually acuminate. 
Found by Mr Ward, in 1831, and later by Mr Mudd, in a wood near Great Ayton, N. R. Yorkshire (Baker, North 
Yorks. 250 (1863)).

Russia ; south-central Asia to Manchuria and Saghalien. 
S', daphnoides is occasionally planted in the British Isles; Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Lancashire, North
