2. Salix amygdaloides Andersson. Wittow. Plate16. Barko1 
trunk fissured, dark brown tinged with red; twigs somewhat brit- 
tle, smooth, orange or reddish-brown; winter buds ovoid, about 3 
mm. (1% inch) long, pointed, smooth; leaves ovate-lanceolate, 5-10 
em. (2-4 inches) long, 1-2.5 em. (%%-1 inch) wide, finely serrate, 
long attenuate at the apex, narrowed at the base, pubescent when 
very young, soon becoming glabrous, smooth and bright green 
above, paler or a bluish glaucous and smooth beneath; petioles 1-3 
em. (34-114 inches) long; flowers appear in April or May, generally 
about two weeks after the preceding species. 
Distribution. Quebec west to Manitoba, south to central Ohio 
and west to Illinois, and southward and westward through the 
Rocky Mountains. In Indiana it is known only from the northern 
part of the State. The specimens at hand are one taken by Umbach 
in Lake County and one taken by Deam in Lake County. It is a 
small tree and is difficult to separate from the preceding species. 
It has a more upright habit of growth and is usually found on the 
borders of stagnant water such as ponds, swamps and lakes. In 
text books it is called the peach-leaved willow. 
The published records are as follows: Kosciusko (Scott). 
Economic uses. ‘Too rare to be of any economic importance.
