−The '''Purple Willow''' or '''Purple Osier''' (''Salix purpurea'') is a species of [[willow]] native to most of [[Europe]] and western [[Asia]]. It is a [[shrub]] to 1-2 m tall. The [[Leaf|leaves]] are 2-8 cm long and 1-2 cm wide, and, unusually for a willow, often arranged in opposite pairs rather than alternate. The [[flower]]s are small [[catkin]]s, produced in early spring; they are often purple in colour, whence the name of the species (other willows mostly have whitish, yellow or green catkins).+This willow species is often used in [[basket]]ry.+{{tree-stub}}+[[Category:Salicaceae|Willow, Purple]]+[[Category:Medicinal plants]]
