. Familiar trees and their leaves . Trees. THE WILLOWS. H7 need description. There is a variety called anmdaris (hoop willow), with leaves almost curved into rings. Black Willow. The black willow has rather rough, HaUx nigra. blackish bark, and a woolly-stemmed, variable leaf which is most often attenuated lance- shaped.* There is, besides, a little stipule (leafy termi- nal) at the junction of the leaf stem with 'the branchlet, though this may not always be present. The branches are very brittle at the base. The leaf is commonly small, not much over two inches in length, and when mature is smooth, except beneath, on the midrib, which is woolly. This willow is common on the banks of streams and lakes. In salix nigra Biaok var.' falcata the leaves are extremely long, narrow, and frequently scythe-shaped; they are fur- nished with stipules (leafy terminals to the leaf stem) which do not fall off when the leaves are young ; the edges are very finely and sharply toothed. The black willow grows from 15 to 36 feet high. * I mean, for instance, wider nearest the base of the leaf, then gradually narrowing to the tip; but one must not rely too much on this form. The leaves are very variable. 9.
