streamside willow thicket with S. geyeriana and S. boothii¶¶¶¶¶ ca 3m tall. Twigs yellow. In some regards seems intermediate with S. geyeriana (e.g. short petioles (3mm), catkins (1.5-2cm), and styles (0.4mm), but differs distinctly from typical geyeriana (including those present and common at this site) in having less glaucus twigs (but still with glaucus patches e.g. behind buds); leaves more or less glabrate and bright green above and with short sparse appressed hairs below (compared with sericeus geyeriana leaves); and darker flower bracts with longer hairs. . ¶ Phenology: Fruits.
