fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:Salix purpurea L. var. Lambertiana (Sm.). The early collected catkins were not sufficient for all of the sheets, but the late ones show that this variety has a short style, whereas the stigmas are usually sessile in the type. The leaves are those of the adult or S. Woolgariana (Borr.) stage of the bush, while the var. Lambertiana is the juvenile stage. - J. Fraser
