Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Salix myrtilloides. A shrub, 2-5 ft. high, with rather slender brown twigs: lvs. oblong or elliptic-obovate, usually obtuse at both ends, entire and smooth, reticulate-veined: aments rather few-fld.: caps. reddish, glabrous. N. E. N. Amer. and Eu. Usually grows in cold peat-bogs.—Probably not in cult. The plant sold under this name is probably some form of S. purpurea, which S. myrtilloides closely resembles in general appearance. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
