Salix eastwoodiae

Salix eastwoodiae is a species of willow known by the common names mountain willow,[1] Eastwood's willow, and Sierra willow.[2] It was first described by Bebb in 1879 as Salix californica. This name was later found to be illegitimate, as Lesquereux had given the same name to a fossil willow in 1878.

gollark: There's the Pine64 PinePhone, which can run various Linux distributions.
gollark: Yes. Ish.
gollark: There's even a Ubuntu Touch GSI, and maybe eventually a postmarketOS one will happen.
gollark: On the plus side, Project Treble means that the drivers/hardware mess on ARM is somewhat mitigated, and you can flash generic-system-image ROMs on most modern devices which allow bootloader unlocking and have stuff mostly work.
gollark: I like having a smartphone and would really not want to not have one, but oh something or other the software choices are so awful.
