Salix mesnyi is a species of willow native to southern and eastern China (Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi [4]), Taiwan, and Vietnam. [3] It can be found among shrubs near water growing 15 metres (49 ft) tall.
A relatively small deciduous tree, Salix mesnyi usually grows to a height between about 10–15 metres (33–49 ft). The bark is grey, and the leaves are ovate with serrated edges. [5] The back of the leaves is also, like the bark, grey. [6]
Salix mesnyi is a dioecious plant. Blooming in early spring, female flowers are green and male flowers are yellow. The flowers are without petals, calyx, only stamens or pistils longer than calyx-like bracts. Male flowers, catkins, are about 4–8 cm, containing 4-7 stamens, anthers conspicuously yellow, filaments basally hairy, surrounded by yellow glands. While the female spike length of about 3–6 cm, with bracts long ovary stalk, spindle-shaped ovary which has 6–10 ovules, short style on the split 4 petals into a cross, ovary at the bottom of only one gland body.[ citation needed]
Capsule is spindle type, fruit length is 7–12 cm, seeds are fluffy.[ citation needed]
