Salix arctica whose common name is Arctic willow or rock willow can be found in the North American tundra.

The Salix arctica is very plentiful in the wild, but is still vulnerable because of the delicate habitat it lives in.

 Botanical Electronic News - BEN #227
The genus Salix is a large, taxonomically complex, genus of about 450 species worldwide; estimates range from 330-350 to 500.
The major problem in the classification of Salix into a linear arrangement of subgenera and sections is the presence of polyploidy as well as hybridization and introgression.
Because the evolutionary pattern of many Salix is reticulate the placement of intersectional allopolyploids in one section or another is arbitrary.

 Improving Removal of Metals from Soil by Salix
Specific Salix clones with high metal-accumulation capacity in shoot and high biomass production may be very suitable for phytoextraction at sites where the contaminant levels are not too high, such as agricultural soil with elevated levels of cadmium.
A major advantage with Salix in phytoextraction is that well-established techniques for cultivation and contaminant extraction already exist at a commercial scale: the plant material is combusted and the metals are separated from the ash.
A good phytoextractor should have a high biomass production since it is the removal of the metal per hectare that counts; however, Salix clones with high metal accumulation do not always have high biomass production: i.e., no relation exists between the properties of high biomass production and high uptake of a metal.
