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/>
