Synonym Text: S. divergens Andersson in DC., Prodr. 16(2): 316. 1868; Hook.f., Fl. Brit. Ind. 5: 637. 1888; S. myricaefolia Andersson in Kung. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handl. 1850: 483. 1851; R. Parker, For. Fl. Punj. ed. 3: 510. 1956.
Flower/Fruit: Fl. Per.: May.
Type: Isotype: "Sur le Lautaret, le long des ruisseaux" (LE) A.K. Skvortsov (l.c. 36. 1969).
Distribution: Distribution: Pakistan (Chitral, Gilgit), Kashmir, Afghanistan, Kirghizstan, China (Xinjiang, Xizang), Mongolia, Russia (S. Siberia), Europe (F. Zhenfu, Z. Shidong & A.K. Skvortsov l.c.).
Comment/Acknowledgements: Salix caesia resembles S. sclerophylla, however the two differ from each otheer in a number of characters. In S. caesia the leaf is oblong elliptic or lanceolate, the male flower has entire or 2-3 lobed gland, the filament is partly or completely connate. The female flower has only one gland, the stigma is entire or 2-lobed. S. sclerophylla has elliptic, ovate or obovate to suborbicular leaves, the male flower has 2 glands, which are sometimes divided, the filaments are free; the female flower also has 2 glands, sometimes divided, rarely only one gland and the stigma is 4-lobed (F. Zhenfu, Z.Shidong & A.K.Skvortsov, l.c.).

Further study of the two taxa seems necessary in order to evaluate the criteria objectively.
