Salgueiros (Género Salix)Observador
judithofsquamishDescrição
Salix sitchensis? Stamens appear to be single; bracts and stems light brown
or is it a hybrid with S. hookeriana?
Habitat: almost adjacent shrubs in same grove as where the S. hookeriana is growing in this observation: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/205782205 and this shrub is similar in overall size and shape.
leaf back has a sheen like S. sitchensis but shape is oval, not obovate, and the old leaves on the ground clearly are oval, not obovate.

" Vegetative characters are variable even on the same plant. Even technical floral characteristics may have some variability, making it difficult even for experts to determine the exact species. Add to that, willows will often hybridize naturally in the wild, creating another level of complexity."

female shrub
habitat: wet estuary, floods at high tide, in a grove of willows
One more developed leaf looks oval, not obovate, which is one reason I think this is S. hookeriana and not S sitchensis. Also, the stems are still quite hairy, not velvety.

There are many Alnus rubra here in this mixed forest. Perhaps a woody red alder stem as young as this can be so hairy.
