Salicaceae   (Willow Family)

Notes: For the genus, Salix I have largely followed the work of George W. Argus in a report he prepared for a workshop on Salix spp. in the Pacific Northwest. This report is abbreviated as GA. While the report itself is not “published” it is based on published papers. Kartesz lists a large number of synonyms for several species. I have not included most of them. If the taxon name is an H&C name, I have not necessarily entered the [H&C].

Family Synonyms: (none)

Literature:
» GA = Argus, George W. Unpublished report prepared for a workshop on Salix spp. in the Pacific Northwest.
