| Salix vitellina, Linn. (S. blanda, Anderss.). Yellow Willow. Becoming a very large and venerable appearing tree, the rather short trunk often 4 ft. or more in diam. It is often pollarded. The crown is deliquescent and rounded in outline. Branches yellow: lvs. silky-hairy when young, glabrous when mature, glaucous beneath, the whiteness intensified after the lvs. fall: aments appearing with the lvs. Abundant in E. N. Amer. Mn. 8, p. 25 (erroneously as S. alba).—Displaying many variations, the most obvious of which are: Var. aurea, Salisb. (var. aurantiaca, Hort.), branches golden yellow, especially just before the lvs. appear in spring. Var. britzensis, Hort., bark red. These as well as other choice varieties are grafted. Var. pendula, Hort. (S. aurea pendula, Hort. S. alba var. vitellina pendula, Rehd. S. babylonica aurea and S. babylonica ramulis aureis, Hort.). Tree of weeping habit, similar to S. babylonica, with yellow branches. M.D.G. 1898:88. Gn. 55, pp. 15, 22. S.H. 2:361, 371. | | Salix vitellina, Linn. (S. blanda, Anderss.). Yellow Willow.
