Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.

The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

The shoots, even when young, lack stipules (cf. S. nigra); see also comments under S. eriocephala. Pubescent plants have been called Salix subsericea; these sometimes presumed to be hybrids with S. sericea. In Michigan, such plants occur well beyond the range of S. sericea and appear to be part of the normal variation of S. petiolaris.
