Two species of Salix<\/i> are however reported from Karnataka. One is S. tetrasperma<\/i> and the other is S. ichnostachya<\/i>. Both appear very similar in the field and shared many common features as both these species belong to the sect. Tetraspermae. Their blooming season is also same i.e. October-December. A key to the species is presented below:<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

Many Thanks … for sharing this habitat of a tree species.
\nThese Salix<\/i> trees in large number makes one really happy. The lone tree of Salix tetrasperma <\/i>on the banks of river Mutha is struggling for survival due to the so called developments of the city but there is a hope as many such trees still survive some 100km from Pune city as shown through this picture which makes it special.
\nSalix<\/i> is a genus of cold and temperate regions but still Maharashtra has 2 species mentioned in BSI Flora S.tetrasperma<\/i> and S. ichnostachya<\/i>. Have you ever come across the latter one?
\nI have included the picture at Flora picture 2012<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

These are male plant and male catkin and of Salix tetrasperma<\/i> Roxb. (Salicaceae). I have collected this plant just beside river Ganges in Barrackpore Sheoraphully ferry ghat( station in river bank for launch and boat), West Bengal.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>I have kind of funny experience with this plant. I visited that place for 5-6 times in winter during 2005-2007. The place was so dirty and it\u2019s very bad smelling too. People around the ferry ghat were surprisingly looked at me and even asked \u201cwhy are you going in such a dirty place for collecting that plants?\u201d My simple answer could not satisfy them. Then they had through their next question! “Is the plant has any anti-cancerous property\u201d. I said \u201cno\u201d and told them it\u2019s other medicinal value. They were little bit disappointed!!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Good to know One can see this in west bengal
\nit seems it is a volunteer, most likely not a planting by the civic authorities so there is hope that one could find other specimens if we were to look for it<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Very well narrated incident, which everybody always faces.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

I am in the process of updating the blog and your picture will get included shortly.
\nInteresting story indeed.
\nIn Pune city there is only one tree on the banks of the only river Mutha.
\nFew years back one bridge was being erected very close to it. One of the botany Professor used to travel daily near this tree. One day he saw some men trying to chop the tree for construction of the bridge. He was disappointed and asked them whether they knew the importance of the tree. Obviously they didn’t. He told them : If someone cuts this species the whole clan\/Kul or family of the person gets destroyed. The men became afraid and shifted the digging process by some feet and the tree got saved and still stands tall very close to the bridge. I have shared the photographs on the forum earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indian Willow tree<\/b> in full bloom in Lalbagh, Bangalore<\/span>
\nThese pics were taken on Jan 7th, 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Beautiful pictures … This is Salix tetrasperma<\/i> of Salicaceae<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

It does not show this much profuse flowering in Delhi.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Can’t wait to go and see it.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

oh yes, really have to see it …<\/p>\n

\n

Amazing beauty of willow, I could not imagine this can look so elegant.<\/p>\n

\n

Really nice pictures of Salix tetrasperma<\/i>.
\nFamily : Salicaceae<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

spectacular….\u00a0 later, can you also take pictures of the leaves, branches, and tree trunk…
\nand canopy… sorry I am asking for a whole lot…. but not seen this in Calcutta..
\nthe flowers are out of this world and your photo is as I said: spectacular…<\/p>\n

\n
\n

There are good number of species of Salix<\/i> in Kashmir (though not S. tetrasperma<\/i>). This year I am visiting Kashmir in April mainly to capture these in flower. I don’t know whether I would be able to catch the most spectacular of all the Salix caprea<\/i>, the first species to flower in Kashmir as early as late February, producing most fragrant flowers, whose fragrance like Magnolia grandiflora<\/i> can be felt from several metres. We used to keep twigs of this in flower in flower pots to give fragrance in the room for several days.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Attaching few more pics …<\/p>\n

\n

This season, you must to go to Mandya district(Karnataka) and watch these blooms along streamsides<\/span> and along the Vishveshwaraya canal or around Nanjangud temple<\/span> along the banks<\/span> of the kaveri river.<\/span>
\nStriking colours. Unmistakably Salix tetrasperma<\/i> inflorescense. from 500 metres away you can make it out.<\/p>\n

\n

I went to Lalbagh again today and looks like the flowering is over. It was full of fresh leaves today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Need help with identification of a tree \/shrub.<\/div>\n
it was seen along the banks of river Godavari (riparian area) in marshy area.<\/span><\/div>\n
the plant was small, not in flowering. I am sorry for that as this would make the identification difficult<\/div>\n
date of siting: 8th Jan 2012<\/div>\n
size: 8-10 ft<\/span><\/div>\n
tender brabches and petioles were reddish.<\/span><\/div>\n
margins of leaf were serrate<\/span><\/div>\n
leaf was shiny green<\/span><\/div>\n
the plant also did not show any branching
\n<\/span>the rest of information has been depicted in the photographs.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

This can be a Salix<\/i> species in my opinion..<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks a lot … this is Salix tetrasperrma<\/i> in my opinion !<\/p>\n

\n

Yes … It does appear to be Salix tetrasperma<\/i>.
\nThe under surface of the leaves is silvery white.<\/span>
\nNear Wai Mahabaleshwar rivers are lined by a large number of these trees<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

… the photos of S. tetrasperma<\/i> you uploaded on efloraofindia were really helpful in identification<\/p>\n

Yes I too think this is some species of Salix<\/i> rather than Acacia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

One more picture in case it helps.<\/p>\n

\n

Decidedly Salix <\/span>sp., not Acacia. <\/span>Not sure which species though.<\/p>\n

\n

Was it on the banks of any river. The typical habitat of Salix tetrasperma.<\/i>
\nBut personally your pictures do not look like Salix tetrasperma<\/i> to me(Though they appear to be some Salix<\/i> species)<\/p>\n

\n

The pictures that I sent were from a paddy field [wetland] with the trees growing along the bunds. But there were a few of these trees growing on the banks of the River Kabini some distance away.<\/p>\n

\n

I did think of Salix tetrasperma after I read the description and saw the picture here<\/span><\/a>. But the trees I saw were much more golden\/yellow hued as in my photo.The leaves look similar, but I really don’t know enough to distinguish!<\/p>\n

\n

You might be knowing but I would like to add:
\nNov is the season of flowering of Salix tetrasperma<\/i>
\nThe lower surface of leaves of Salix tetrasperma<\/i> is silvery white which you might like to check. Attaching my pictures of S.tetrasperma<\/i> from Wai Maharashtra for comparison.<\/p>\n

\n

The trees on the river bank look very similar.
\nI hope to check on the leaves when I travel that way again next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The photographs show habit and male catkins of S. tetrasperma<\/i> Roxb.<\/span> The male catkins are much larger than those of its closely allied S. ichnostachya<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Two species of Salix<\/i> are however reported from Karnataka. One is S. tetrasperma<\/i> and the other is S. ichnostachya<\/i>. Both appear very similar in the field and shared many common features as both these species belong to the sect. Tetraspermae. Their blooming season is also same i.e. October-December. A key to the species is presented below:<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Excellent photographs … But I think the collection is a mixed of S.tetrasperma<\/i> and S. ichnostachya<\/i>. I have one doubt regarding your 3rd<\/sup> picture. It is perhaps S. ichnostachya<\/i>. I\u2019m under impression that you took photograph 3 and 4 from different plants. The leaves of picture 4 represent good numbers of supportive characters of S. tetrasperma<\/i> (blades lanceolate, serrate to serrulate at margin, silvery glaucous and glabrous beneath). But in picture 3, I found many character of S. ichnostachya<\/i> like crenate-serrate leaf margin; petiole, rachis of catkins and under surface of leaf are pupescent and bracts of male flower reach almost \u00bd of the filaments. Can you please other close up photograph (if you have) of the 3rd<\/sup> picture for its further confirmation? Do you remember whether the bracts are glabrous or much hairy in the male flowers (of the 3rd<\/sup> picture)? I\u2019ll post Salix tetrasperma<\/i> from West Bengal. You can compare it with your specimens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
Thanks for the feedback.
\nYes you are right. The first two photographs are from Wai. The last two are from Pune city. The only tree of its kind in the city and male one so won’t bear fruits.
\nWill check if I have any more photographs esp the macros and put them for critical analysis<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

… can you please post the picture of the entire catkin and a twig of this specimen?<\/p>\n

…, can this be Salix tetrasperma<\/i>… I apologize for not having any more pics..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

perhaps I was in some hurry due to being with a large group of students..<\/p>\n

\n

If the fruiting catkin is larger, 5-14 cm then it is S. tetrasperma<\/i>, if it is 2.5-4.5 cm long then it is S. acmophylla<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
