FI., ed. 2.; S. hastata Borrerin a letter. — The female is figured in Sal. Wob. and in Eng. Bot.,where Smith notes that he had not seen the catkins of the male.For a leaf, see our fig. 36. in p. 1611. Leaves elliptic oblong, toothed,wavy, thin and crackling, very glabrous. Stipules heart-shaped,about equal to the footstalks. Bracteas obovate, bearded. Ovarylanceolate, glabrous, on a short glabrous stalk. ( Smith Eng. PI.)According to Koch, the leaves are obovate-oblong, serrated withcrowded and deepish teeth. (Comm., p. 43.) Sir J. E. Smith, whoconsidered this sort as a distinct species, described it as having anaspect “ altogether singular among our British willows, resemblingsome sort of apple tree rather than a willow.” The stem is from 3 ft.or 4 ft. to 6 ft. high, crooked, with numerous irregular, spreading,crooked, or wavy branches, most leafy about the ends; their barkblackish; the young ones hairy. There are plants of S. hastataand S. h. malifolia at Woburn and Flitwick.

Accord-ing to Forbes, the leaves are elliptic-lanceolate, sharplyserrated ; glabrous above, glaucous and slightly silky beneath; thelower leaves densely silky. Catkins about -J in. long. Ovary ovate,downy, sessile. Style longer than the linear divided stigmas. Theold leaves appear to be nearly glabrous, and to correspond with thefigure of S. arbuscula in Flor. Lapp., pi. 8. fig.m.

Synonymes. S. lanata, the kind No. 2., Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 71.; S. lanita Koch, at least partof Koch Comm., p. 53.; ? S. caprea FI. Dan., t. 245. The style is represented as bifid, and the stig-mas as bipartite. (Hooker in E. B.) ?S. chrysanthos 77. Dan., 1. 1057., Forbes in Sal. Wob., No. 71.,the kind No. 1. In FI. Dan., t. 1057., two styles to a flower are represented, though the plate, inother respects, very faithfully represents my Lapland specimen of S. lanata, sent me by Dr. Wick,strom. ( Hooker in Eng. Bot.) The S. chrysanthos FI. Dan. and the Scottish S. lan&ta appear tome widely different in foliage, the Scottish kind having its leaf much more orbicular, and generallyheart-shaped at the base.
