Narrative
Salix candida is a boreal species with a concentrated abundance and distribution in the northern tier of the U.S., including Alaska, and in Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia (Decker 2006). Occurrences in South Dakota are rare and disjunct and known only to occur in seven sites (Decker 2006) in five counties including: northeast South Dakota - Roberts (2), Day (2), Deuel (1), Grant (1) and western South Dakota - Pennington (1) where all except the Pennington County site are represented by only one or a few genets. The McIntosh Fen supports the largest population of S. candida in the state estimated at a couple hundred genets. Plants measured (2019) approximately 5-6' in height with heavily pubescent leaves and stems. This population of S. candida at this site located along Castle Creek was initially documented by Arthur C. McIntosh (1930) in 1924 and 1925 as vouchers No. A57 and No. 729, respectively. Interestingly in 1962, S. G. Froiland published 'The genus Salix (Willows) of the Black Hills of South Dakota" and specifically referred to the correct identification of McIntosh's S. candida vouchers. However, S. candida was not relocated despite Froiland's efforts in the 1950's noting "all areas from which they were reported were covered thoroughly". Froiland (1962) indicated "S. candida was present in the Black Hills in the past, but apparently is no longer present". To date (2020), this population is in stable condition, but localized to only a few (2-3) acres.
