Salix myrsinifolia Salisb.

Species description (© Flora Helvetica 2018)

Meist 2-5 m hoher, aufrechter Strauch. Blätter breit-lanzettlich bis rundlich-oval, 2-9 cm lang, 1-3mal so lang wie breit, oberseits dunkelgrün glänzend, unterseits mit einer bläulichen Wachsschicht, aber grüner Spitze (nur bei dieser S.-Art und S. apennina), auf den Nerven meist behaart, Rand unregelmässig gezähnt. Blüten erscheinen mit den Blättern. Früchte bis 8 mm lang, kahl. Griffel so lang oder länger als der Fruchtknotenstiel.
