'''''Salix exigua''''' ('''Sandbar Willow''', '''Narrowleaf Willow''', or '''Coyote Willow'''; syn. ''S. argophylla, S. hindsiana, S. interior, S. linearifolia, S. luteosericea, S. malacophylla, S. nevadensis, S. parishiana'') is a species of [[willow]] native to most of [[North America]] except for the southeast and far north, occurring from [[Alaska]] east to [[New Brunswick]], and south to northern [[Mexico]].<ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?313877 ''Salix exigua'']</ref> It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] reaching {{convert|4|–|7|m|ft|abbr=on}} in height, spreading by [[basal shoot]]s to form dense [[clonal colony|clonal colonies]]. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[Leaf shape|narrow lanceolate]], {{convert|4|–|12|cm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2|–|10|mm|in|abbr=on}} broad, green, to grayish with silky white hairs at least when young; the margin is entire or with a few irregular, widely spaced small teeth. The [[flower]]s are produced in [[catkin]]s in late spring, after the leaves appear. It is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], with [[stamen|staminate]] and [[pistil]]late catkins on separate plants, the male catkins up to {{convert|10|cm|in|abbr=on}} long, the female catkins up to {{convert|8|cm|in|abbr=on}} long. The [[fruit]] is a cluster of [[capsule (fruit)|capsules]], each containing numerous minute [[seed]]s embedded in shiny white silk.<ref name=npwrc>Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: [http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/plants/vascplnt/species/sexi.htm ''Salix exigua'']</ref><ref name=jeps>Jepson Flora: [http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?Salix+exigua ''Salix exigua'']</ref> ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== There are two [[subspecies]], which meet in the western [[Great Plains]]:<ref name=grin/><ref name=npwrc/> *''Salix exigua'' subsp.
