which, and especially in those from the younger Jacquin preserved in the Smithian collection, thebracteal leaves are large and closely resemble those of the leafy twigs ; and the scales of thecatkin are naked, except a marginal fringe.” ( Borrer in Eng. Bot. Supply t, 2656.) The S. Wul-fen iuna of Willdenow appears to be a native of Carinthia, where it was found by Wulfen. Itflowers from May to July, and was introduced in 1818.

App. i. Kinds of Salix described or recorded in BotanicalWorks, but not introduced into Britain , or not known by theseNames in British Gardens .

34 S. drctica R. Br. , in his List of the Plants collected in Ross's Voyage. Koch, in his Comm., p. 61.,note *, considers this species about intermediate between 5. Jacquinw Host and S. reticulata L. ; andhe has described it. He states it to be a native of the most northern part of America , Hudson’s Bay,Melville Island , &c. It is also described by Dr. Richardson, in App. to Franklin's First Journey,p. 752,753. According to Dr. Lindley (Nat. Syst. of Bot ,), it is the most northern woody plant that isknown. Mr. Borrer considers it to be near S. cordifblia Pursh.

3k S. desertorum Rich, and S. rostrata Rich, are mentioned by Dr. Richardson, in App. to Frank-lin's First Journey, as new species.

34 S. cinerdscens Link MSS. (Willd. Sp. PI.,4. p. 706.; Smith in Rees’s Cyclo., No. 132.), the ash.coloured Portuguese willow, has the leaves oblong-obovate,pointed, and serrated; hoary with downbeneath.' Stipules large, lunate, and toothed. (Willd. and Smith.) A native of marshes in Portugal .This kind is supposed by Koch to be probably identical, or nearly so, with the S. grandifblia ofSeringe; and it appears to belong to the group Cin£reze.

jfc S. divariciita Pall. FI. Ross., 2. p. 80., Willd, Sp. PI., 4. p. 675., Smith in Rees’s Cyclo., No. 52.This species is a native of the alps of Daiiria, where it grows among granite rocks, over which itspreads in a prostrate form. The stem is about as thick as the finger, very much divided, and forkedfrom its origin, with short, rigid, depressed, yellowish brown branches. The leaves are crowdedabout the ends of the shoots ; in some specimens lanceolate, and nearly entire ; in others obovate-Janceolate, coarsely serrated, the serratures somewhat wavy and obtuse : both sides are quite smooth,Pallas states that this kind resembles the S. phvlicifblia of Linnaeus. (Smith.)

A tree 6ft. high, a native of the Cape of Good Hope ; with the leaves on theextreme shoots scarcely 1 in. long, and on very short footstalks, obovate, obtuse, with a point, andclothed on both sides with white hairs. (Thunb. and Smith.)

Capsules stalked,and glabrous. Nearly allied to S. cSprca, but differing in the smoothness of the capsule. (Smith,adapted.)

Catkins ses-sile, unattended by leaves, very hairy. Ovaries lanceolate, silky, stalked. (Smith.) Abundant inthe sandy islands and shallows in the southern parts of the Wolga ; not expanding its catkins orleaves till the beginning of June, In dry ground, it becomes a tree ; but is otherwise shrubby,6it.high; with brittle grey or yellowish twigs, glabrous, except when very young. It is distinguishedfrom S. ckprea, by its broad and serrated leaves, and ovate ovaries. (Id.)

To the names above given many others might be added, and in particular the greater number ofthose described in Host’s Flora Austriaca, which we have preferred giving in a separate Appendix -See App. iv.

The plates, which form pages 1603. to 1630., contain figures of leaves, of thenatural size, from the engravings of willows given in the Salictum Wobumeiue;and against each leaf, or pair of leaves, we have placed the same number, anathe same name, which are given in the Salictum. In App. ii., in p. 1631, w >ibe found an alphabetical list of ail these names, with references to the figuresof leaves in our pages; and the same figures are also referred to,, where therespective kinds are described, in the description of willows in British collec-tions, contained in the pages between p. 1490. and p. 1595.
