7. S. trian'dra. (Triandrous leaves: linear-oblong, serrated, smooth, 
rather unequally sloping at the base: germens stalked : stigmas 
sessile, bifid. 
(E . Bot. 1435. E.)— Gmel. 1. 34. 3. 
(When not injured, rising to the height of thirty feet; towards autumn, 
casting its bark , cracking angularly like the plane-tree. Leaves always 
perfectly smooth, numerous, scattered, stalked, three or four inches long, 
and an inch broad, linear-oblong, being contracted at each end only for 
scarcely more than half an inch, at the extremity into a taper-point; 
at the base into a somewhat unequal, rounded, but not ovate shape; 
their margin copiously beset with rounded, glandular teeth, or ser- 
ratures; upper surface bright green; under pale, or slightly glaucous ; 
their fine slender veins interbranching towards the edges. Catkins soli¬ 
tary, at the ends of short, lateral, leafy branches, which in summer are 
axillary. Sm. E.) 
Triandrous Willow. Smooth Willow. (Welsh: Helygen deirgwrryw 
hirddail. S. triandra. Linn. E.) Woods, hedges, banks of rivers, and 
osier-grounds. May—Aug.t 
(S. Hoffmanniana . Sm. nearly resembles the preceding, and has often 
been described as the same. It is said not to attain more than half the 
height of S. triandra } to have leaves ovate-oblong, rather than linear- 
oblong, and slightly rounded at the base. S. triandra. HofFm. repre¬ 
sented in his Sal. v. 1. t. 9, 10. t. 23. f. 2. E.) 
8. S. lanceola'ta. Triandrous; leaves spear-shaped, tapering to¬ 
wards each end, serrated, smooth: foot-stalks decurrent: germen 
stalked: style as long as the stigmas. 
E. Bot. 1436. 
A small tree, distinguished by its long tapering leaves and leaf-scales, and 
by the base of the foot-stalk running down remarkably along the branch. 
The leaves have often a small pair of leafits at their base. Occasionally 
casting its bark. 
Sharp-leaved Triandrous Willow. Growing wild in Sussex. About 
Lewes. Mr. Borrer. And probably not uncommon elsewhere. In Angus- 
shire. Mr. G. Don. T. April—May. E. Bot. E.){ 
9* S. amygdali'na. Triandrous: leaves egg-spear-shaped, ovate, 
oblique, serrated, smooth; rounded and unequal at the base: 
* (Of no use as an osier. E.) 
t (The narrow-leaved willows generally come under the denomination of osiers, of 
which this is one of the most valuable. It is cultivated for white basket work, producing 
rods eight or nine feet long, tough and pliant, even when stripped of their bark, and 
very durable. They are cut down every year. Sm. E.) The bark, in doses of one or 
two drams, will cure agues. Med. Com. v. 298. 
t (The rods when peeled are apt to split in working, but they are common in brown 
hampers and crates, and might probably prove suitable for the manufacture of willow 
bonnets. E.)
