'''''Salix lucida''''' ('''Shining Willow''', '''Pacific Willow''', or '''Whiplash Willow''') is a species of [[willow]] native to northern and western [[North America]], occurring in [[wetland]] habitats.<ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?316020 ''Salix lucida'']</ref><ref name=jeps>Jepson Flora: [http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?Salix+lucida ''Salix lucida'']</ref><ref name=bc>Plants of British Columbia: [http://linnet.geog.ubc.ca/Atlas/Atlas.aspx?sciname=Salix+lucida ''Salix lucida'']</ref>

 

It is a [[deciduous]] large [[shrub]] or small [[tree]] growing to 4–11 m tall. The shoots are greenish-brown to grey-brown. The [[leaf|leaves]] are narrow elliptic to lanceolate, 4–17 cm long and 1-3.5 cm broad, glossy dark green above, usually glaucous green below, hairless or thinly hairy. The [[flower]]s are yellow [[catkin]]s 1–9 cm long, produced in late spring after the leaves emerge.<ref name=jeps/><ref name=bc/><ref name=npwrc>Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: [http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/plants/vascplnt/species/sluc.htm ''Salix lucida'']</ref> <br clear=left>
