Hab Throughout the woody country. D r Richardson. Drummond. Douglas.—A beautiful species ;
the catkins very compact, white, with dense wool, tipped with the deep coloured style and stigmas and subtended
by the dark scale, with long delicate hair. . In the ripe catkins, the pistils are nearly half an inch
long, and three or four times as long as the style. A shrub 4-6 feet high.

ventured to introduce it, were it not that Dr Barratt considers it to be the same as S. villosa of D. Don, in “ Pursh, Herb. Canad”

: the silky germens are much concealed by the large dark-coloured scales.

—A stout but low growing shrub, with very thick straight branches. The male catkins look like a dense
cylindrical mass of wool, which entirely conceals the scales, the stamens only being protruded beyond the
wool. The leaves are 2-3 inches long, one inch to an inch and a half wide, clothed with greyish woolly
down beneath. Pistils perfectly glabrous, even its stipes; and the lobes of the stigma are always entire.
