Greenleaf willow as seen at vernally moist meadows at Panikanic in western Klickitat County, Washington.........May 6, 2015. Note the glands along the margins and at the base of the leaf blades and the stipules (which have glands around their margins), and 3 stamens per flower which help identify this as Salix lasiandra. The ventral surface of the leaves are green rather than glaucous, so this is var. caudata.
