'''''Salix integra''''' is a species of [[willow]] native to northeastern [[China]], [[Japan]], [[Korea]] and the far southeast of [[Russia]].<ref name=foc>Flora of China: [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200005871 ''Salix integra'']</ref><ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?102705 ''Salix integra'']</ref>
It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] growing to 2–6 m tall with greyish-green bark and reddish to yellowish shoots. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 2-10 cm long and 1-2 cm wide; they are pale green both above and below, and unusually for a willow, are often arranged in opposite pairs or whorls of three, rather than alternate. The [[flower]]s are produced in small [[catkin]]s 1-2.5 cm long in early spring; they are brownish to reddish in colour. It is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], with male and female catkins on separate plants.<ref name=foc/><ref name=jt>
It is closely related to the European and western Asian ''[[Salix purpurea]]'', and has been treated as a [[variety (botany)|variety]] of it by some authors, as ''S. purpurea'' var. ''multinervis'' (Franchet & Savatier) Matsumura, or as a subspecies ''S. purpurea'' subsp. ''amplexicaulis'' (Chaubard) C.K.Schneid.<ref name=foc/><ref name=jt/>

==Varieties==
The [[cultivar]] 'Hakuro Nishiki' (dappled willow) is widely grown as an [[ornamental plant]] for its [[variegation|variegated]] foliage, the leaves strongly mottled with patches and blotches of white and pale pink. As its growth is fairly weak and shrubby, it is commonly sold [[grafting|grafted]] on the top of a straight stem of another willow.
