This much resembles the preceding species in size, general habit, and leaf- 
scales; but the leaves differ materially in having their upper surface 
always elegantly reticulated, especially towards the margin. The catkins 
are more slender, their scales egg-shaped and blunt; stigmas like those 
of S. prunifolia, (of which species both this and the preceding ones are 
considered merely varieties by Prof. Hooker. E.)

(26. S. carina'ta. Leaves egg-shaped, finely toothed, smooth, mi¬ 
nutely veined, folded so as to form a keel: capsules egg-shaped, 
downy. 
E. Bot. 1363. 
Larger and more upright than S. prunifolia or S. venulosa; the young 
branches are elongated and straight, nearly smooth. Leaf-scales very 
minute, but shaped as in those species. Leaves remarkably recurved and 
sharply keeled, so that the two sides approach each^other, and the leaf 
cannot be pressed flat. Both surfaces finely veined, the under slightly 
glaucous. Calkins small, egg-shaped, with short roundish concave hairy 
scales. Germen twice as long as its corresponding scale, egg-shaped, 
silky. Stigmas nearly sessile, egg-shaped, thick and short, at length 
notched.

Scottish Highlands. In Breadalbane. Mr. Winch.

(27. S. Dicksonia'na. Leaves elliptical, acute, slightly toothed, smooth, 
glaucous beneath: young branches very smooth: catkins egg- 
shaped, short, erect: germen silky. 
E. Bot. 1390. 
A small upright branched shrub, about one foot high, smooth in all its 
branches, leaves, and stalks. Leaf-scales very minute. Leaves on short, 
thickish foot-stalks, flat, upper surface very even and bright green; the 
under glaucous, finely veined. Catkin-scales dark purplish brown, 
concave, notched, hairy. Germen stalked, egg-shaped, with a short 
style, and thick yellow notched stigmas. E. Bot. 
Hooker considers this a very questionable species, according with his 
S. radicans , ( Si phylicifolia. E. Bot.) Smith admits, under certain cir¬ 
cumstances, its near approach to S. arbuscula. E.) S. April. E.) 
Broad-leaved Mountain Willow. S. myrtilloides. FI. Brit, but not of 
Linn, the latter not found in Britain. Scottish mountains. Mr. Dickson. 
(In Breadalbane. Mr. Winch.) 
28. S. herba'cea. Leaves circular, (serrated, very smooth, reticu¬ 
lated with veins, shining on both sides: germen stalked, ovate, 
lanceolate, smooth. E.)

Stem about one inch high; bark ash-coloured or brown. Branches irregular, 
knotty, striking root. Barren Catkins terminal, upright, some lines in 
length, on fruit-stalks as long as themselves. Stamens two. Nectaries 
two. Fertile Catkins terminal, shorter than the barren ones, on fruit-
