H a b . Silery, near .Quebec. Mrs Sheppard. New Brunswick. Mr Kendal.— These specimens, which are
barren, exactly correspond with what is named S. prinoides, from the United States i als°
equally the same with what is named,in my Herbarium, S. cordata, by Mr Borrer, from Mr Anderson s
garden.

H a b . Labrador. Ph. Miss Bratton. Mackenzie Riverand Bear Lake. D r Richardson. Swamps at
Lae la Pierre. Dnmmond— lS this be the tree S. planifolia, as Dr Barratt suspects, it is a low growing
shrub, with ohovato-lanceolate, entire leaves, very glaucous beneath, especially the younger ones, downy,
as well ns the young branches. The ovary is ovato-aeulhmate, sessile, and very shortly stipitnte. Style
short; Jobes of the stigma bifid. Pursh was unacquainted with the fiowers, and there must still he great
doubt about the species.-/!, though not marked as a var. by Dr Barratt, has the leaves of the same colour on
both sides, and decidedly serrated.

that the leaves are more obtuse.

H ab. From the Saskatchawan (Drummond) to Fort Franklin. D r Richardson.— K very elegant species,

much larger, more woolly leaves, and longer and looser catkins.
