Excerpt from Willows: Their Growth, Use and Importance
The botanical name of the willow genus, Salix, comes from the Celtic sal, meaning near, and lis, water. The poplar is a genus of the same family. Both have more species and wider distribution in North America than on any other continent, the willows being more widely distributed than the poplars but less generally attaining tree size.
