Salix eastwoodiae is a species of willow known by the common names mountain willow,[1] Eastwood's willow, and Sierra willow.[2] It was first described by Bebb in 1879 as Salix californica. This name was later found to be illegitimate, as Lesquereux had given the same name to a fossil willow in 1878.
It is native to California , Nevada, and the north-western United States.[2] It grows in subalpine and alpine climates in mountain habitats such as talus and streambanks.
Description
Salix eastwoodiae is a shrub growing up to 4 m (13 ft) tall, with branches yellowish, brown, red, or purplish in color and coated in short hairs, sometimes becoming hairless. The leaves are narrowly or widely lance-shaped and up to 10 cm long, hairy when new and becoming hairless.
The inflorescence is a catkin of flowers. The bloom period is May to July.[2]
