Swamp Willow (Salix myrtilloides) is a shrubby willow native to boglands in subarctic and arctic Europe and Asia, with a few small isolated populations further south in mountain bogs in the Alps.
The leaves resemble Bog Bilberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) (hence the name in the Finnish and Swedish languages which translates as "Bog Bilberry Willow").
A very similar closely related species, the Bog Willow (Salix pedicellaris), occurs in northern North America; it is classified as a variety of Swamp Willow S. myrtilloides var. pedicellaris by some botanists.
