Description


Salix carmanica is a shrub up to 6 meters high with a smooth, blue-green bark . The branches are yellowish, drooping, thin and bare. The leaves have linear, about 2 millimeters long, deciduous stipules with a serrated leaf margin. The leaf blade is obsolete, 3 to 5 centimeters long and 5 to 7 millimeters wide, also longer on young shoots, short pointed, with a wedge-shaped base and a finely serrated leaf margin. Both sides of the leaf are colored the same, initially slightly tomentose and later almost bare.[2]

Male inflorescences are unknown. The female inflorescences are 1 to 2.5 centimeters long catkins with an approximately 1 centimeter long, tomentose-haired stem with two to three leaves. The bracts are yellowish green, oblong-obovate, about 1.5 millimeters long, with a truncated, edged tip, and bare underside. They fall off as the fruit ripens. The female flowers have a linear-lanceolate, about 1 millimeter long, glabrous or slightly hairy, sterile and 1 millimeter long stalked ovary . The stylus is about 0.4 millimeters long, the scaris two- to four-lobed. Salix carmanica flowers around the time the leaves shoot in May.[2]
