The Salicaceae family is further divided into two genera, Salix (willow) and Populus (poplar, aspen, cottonwood).
The Salicaceae family are trees and shrubs found predominantly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Generally native to northern temperate regions and commonly used for ornament, shade and timber as well as being the source of salicin (salicylic acid), which is used in pain relievers (aspirin is a derivative of salicylic acid).

 Salicaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Recent genetic studies by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) has greatly expanded the circumscription of the family to contain 57 genera.
In the Cronquist system the Salicaceae was treated in its own order Salicales, and contained only three genera (Salix, Populus and Chosenia), but APG includes it in the Malpighiales.
The additional genera were previously treated in the Flacourtiaceae, but had a mixed history before that and have been treated in Bembiciaceae, Caseariaceae, Homaliaceae, Poliothyrsidaceae, Prockiaceae, Samydaceae, and Scyphostegiaceae.
