SLENDER WILLOW Salixpetiolaris (or S. gracilis) Leaves 5-9 times as long as wide, up to 2 cm. wide, fine-toothed (or nearly untoothed in an uncommon form). Twigs hairless or becoming so. Branchlets not brittle-based. Stipules essentially absent. Swamps, bogs, low ground, meadows, river thickets. Common. SILKY WILLOW Salix sericea Leaves shiny beneath with silky hairs, 3-6 times as long as wide, cm. wide, fine-toothed. Branchlets brittle-based. Twigs hairless or becoming so. Stipules distinct but shedding. Riverbanks, low thickets, brook meadows. Uncommon. (PRINTS FULL SIZE) SILKY WILLOW. SLENDER WILLOW Note: Seedlings of the tree species Weeping Willow and White Willow are very unlikely to be encountered and confused with the above shrub species. Purple-osier, Dwarf Gray, Prairie, Pussy and Silky Willows flower before the appearance of leaves and exhibit the characteristic "pussies" of spring. 67.
