Comment: Seed collection from two specimens separated by a distance of approximately ten feet. Extremely low percentage (<40%) of flowering/fruiting Salix serissima noted within the population in 2018. Despite being a dioecious species, "many specimens that flowered in 2017 did not flower in 2018" (L. Larson, pers. comm., 20 Nov. 2018).

Narrative
Salix serissima (autumn willow) is a boreal willow and an obligate wetland species whose distribution is concentrated in the northeastern United States and in Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia. A deciduous shrub that grows from 1 to 5 m tall. Bark color ranges from olive-brown or gray in older branches to yellowish-brown in younger branches, and the youngest twigs are glossy red-brown. The leaves of mature branches are dark green and shining on the top surface with a broad whitish midrib, and paler on the bottom surface. Leaves are elliptic or lanceolate with minutely toothed margins and the distinguishing presence of glands on the petiole near the base of the leaf blade. S. serissima flowers from May to July, and fruits mature from June to September (Decker 2006). Staminate flowers are rather showy and stout measuring approximately 45-55 mm in length and 15 mm in width that peak well after leaves have emerged; anthers yellow and dense. Pistillate catkins are rather loosely flowered and slightly shorter (e.g. 25-30 mm in length) in comparison to staminate flowers; green and inconspicuous.
