Salix mucronata

Salix mucronata (commonly called the Cape silver willow or Safsaf willow) is a tall, graceful, evergreen willow tree. It grows along riverbanks in South Africa, and is used for a wide range of traditional medicines.
The Cape willow is dioecious (separate male and female trees).[1][2]

This variable-looking species was previously subdivided into a number of different species. These have now all been downgraded to just being subspecies of Salix mucronata. These subspecies include:

  • S. m. hirsuta (silver willow)
  • S. m. mucronata (Safsaf willow)
  • S. m. woodii (flute willow)
  • S. m. capensis (small-leaved willow)

gollark: I did.
gollark: Assuming moderators can `/cf` other people's stuff, maybe Hydro was just happily going about banning me from his stuff (not requiring moderator powers), but accidentally stood in urn street and did that.
gollark: The coincidence of timing is possibly odd, given that I don't think I recently annoyed crazed too.
gollark: Anyway, since crazed appears to have *not* banned me from his other claims, perhaps hydro accidentally used magic mod powers to ban me from urn street or something.
