Salix humilis
Also called Grey Willow, Small Pussy Willow, Upland Willow
Salix humilis, known as prairie willow, is a species of willow native to the United States and Canada, east of the Rockies.
Male and female flowers are found on separate plants. The green silky catkins appear before the leaves emerge in spring.
This species has been observed in areas with loamy sand, as well as specific habitat types such as pine flatwoods and along pond shorelines. Individuals have also been observed occurring in areas that are or had previously been disturbed, such as within burned pine woods or along hiking trails.
