Smith observes in E. Bot. that S. glauca is new to our Flora, and not well 
known to Botanists in general. It has been considered as a variety of 
S. arenaria, but Mr. Crowe was aware of its difference. It is the size 
of S. arenaria , but the elliptical, narrower, smooth and even leaves, pe¬ 
culiarly white, (when young beautifully satiny,) with less prominent 
veins beneath, and the more decurrent footstalks, evidently distinguish, 
it; the stigmas are shorter and thicker, and we have occasionally noticed 
convex round stipuloe, not observed in the other.

(Another Highland Willow, S. Shuar tiana , Sm. is described, with Leaves 
nearly entire, ovate-lanceolate, acute; shaggy above; densely silky, 
somewhat cottony, beneath; style as long as the almost sessile,, woolly 
germen; stigmas capillary, deeply divided, the length of the style.” A

Branches five or six inches long. Leaves when young covered with a silky 
down, especially on the back and at the edge, but this vanishes with age. 
Smith describes the branches as long-, nearly prostrate; the young ones 
angular and silky. Leaves on shortish stalks, about an inch long ; upper 
side green, veiny and smooth when full grown; the under covered with 
beautiful silvery close-pressed hairs. Stipules variable in size, egg- 
shaped, flat, entire, silky. Catkins cylindrical, obtuse, at first sessile. 
Scales strap-shaped, inclining to inversely-egg-shaped, obtuse, or notched, 
hairy. Stamens yellow, smooth. Capsules on very long stalks. Style 
short. Stigmas at length cloven. E. Bot. E.)
