Salix mucronata

Salix hirsuta Salix capensis Salix safsaf Salix mucronata (commonly called the Cape silver willow or Safsaf willow) is a tall, graceful, Semi-Deciduous willow tree.

It grows along riverbanks in South Africa, and is used for a wide range of traditional medicines.

The Cape willow is dioecious (separate male and female trees).

These have now all been downgraded to just being subspecies of Salix mucronata.
