Editorial Note

Salix subfragilis Andersson cited as synonym by Bean in fact refers to Salix babylonica f. babylonica.

This species, perhaps no more than a race of S. triandra, is a native of Japan and continental N.E. Asia, reaching almost as far west as the eastern limit of S. triandra. The differential characters given by von Seemen are: leaves more downy when young; leaves under the catkins almost entire; catkins denser-flowered. Skvortsov distinguishes it (as a subspecies) only by its branchlets being covered when mature with a pruinose bloom.
