This species is common in temperate and alpines of Uttarakhand. I believe it occurs up to 4000m here, particularly in glacial moraines where it becomes a dwarf shrub (not as dwarf as S.lindleyana) of 2-4 feets between boulders.

Badrinath, Uttarakhand, June 09.
ID help requested.

Was it planted as a hedge plant.
It can be some kind of Salix (Willow)
Several species are found in North India esp in H.P.

---

This species is Salix denticulata showing the twigs with female catkins. The characters which help to identify the species from the photographs are: Twigs reddish to light brown. Leaves alternate; blades oblong-elliptic or oblong-obovate, obtuse to rounded or occasionally acute at apex, denticulate or sometimes serrulate at margin, broadly cuneate at base, bright green above, pale and glaucous beneath, glabrous on both the surfaces; midrib prominent. Young leaves and petiole purplish to pale green. Female catkins erect to sub-erect, slender, cylindrical, compact and green.

My 6th Salix species from Himachal (3200 m asl).

Seems S.denticulata to me.

---

Agreed with …   This is Salix denticulata Andersson.
The most distinct character in the photograph that helps to identifying this species is the much elongated non-flowering portion with 3-5 basal leaves of the fruiting catkins. The leaf characters (blades elliptic, oblong-elliptic or oblong-obovate; denticulate or sometimes serrulate at margin; distinct mid-veins and secondary veins on the dorsal surface; secondary veins subopposite to alternate, curved, oblique and mostly 45°) of Salix denticulata are also quite distinct that could be viewed after zooming from the picture.

Identity is correct, but Salix elegans is now used as a synonym of Salix denticulata.
