Salix sitchensis is a species of willow known by the common name Sitka willow.

It is native to northwestern North America from Alaska to northern California to Montana.

It is a common to abundant plant in many types of coastal and inland wetland habitat, such as marshes, riverbanks, swamps, coastal sand dunes, and mountain springs.

Description

Salix sitchensis is variable in appearance, taking the form of a bushy shrub or an erect tree up to 8 m (26 ft) tall. The leaves are up to 12 cm long, lance-shaped or oval with pointed tips, smooth-edged or toothed, often with the edges rolled under. The undersides are hairy to woolly in texture, and the upper surfaces are mostly hairless and dark green.

The inflorescence is a catkin of flowers, slender or short and stout. Male catkins are up to 6 cm long and female catkins are longer, sometimes exceeding 10 cm as the fruits develop. The bloom period is March in California.

Natural distribution range.

gollark: I think that works too. Though at this point Edge is effectively just reskinned Chromium.

gollark: Apparently Microsoft Teams "requires" Chrome or the desktop app to do voice/video meetings, but it also worked perfectly fine when I just switched the user agent in Firefox.

gollark: Intel's 7nm is said to be (meant to be) similar to other companies' 5nm, at least.

gollark: They have 10nm Ice Lake mobile CPUs, at least.

gollark: They still haven't. So the best thing *shipping* is Ice Lake, which had better IPC but is also on their not-very-good 10nm process and has bad clocks, making it roughly as good as 14nm ones with worse architectures.
