Salix myrtilloides, Linn. Fig. 3526. A shrub, 2-5 ft. high, with rather slender brown twigs: lvs. oblong or elliptic-obovate, usually obtuse at both ends, entire and smooth, reticulate-veined: aments rather few-fld.: caps. reddish, glabrous. N. E. N. Amer. and Eu. Usually grows in cold peat-bogs.—Probably not in cult. The plant sold under this name is probably some form of S. purpurea, which S. myrtilloides closely resembles in general appearance.
