Willow (1988 movie)<\/p>\n
Definition<\/a>: Willows<\/strong>, sallows<\/strong>, and osiers<\/strong> form the genus<\/a> Salix<\/strong><\/em>, around 400 species[2]<\/a><\/sup> of deciduous<\/a> trees<\/a> and shrubs<\/a>, found primarily on moist soils<\/a> in cold and temperate<\/a> regions of the Northern Hemisphere<\/a>. Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier<\/em>, and some broader-leaved species are referred to as sallow<\/em> (from Old English<\/a> sealh<\/em>, related to the Latin<\/a> word salix<\/em>, willow). Some willows (particularly arctic<\/a> and alpine<\/a> species) are low-growing or creeping shrubs; for example the Dwarf Willow (Salix herbacea<\/a><\/em>) rarely exceeds 6\u00a0cm (2\u00a0in) in height, though spreading widely across the ground.<\/p>\n Willows are very cross-fertile, and numerous hybrids<\/a> occur, both naturally and in cultivation. A well-known ornamental<\/a> example is the Weeping Willow (Salix \u00d7 sepulcralis<\/em>), which is a hybrid of Peking Willow (Salix babylonica<\/a><\/em>) from China<\/a> and White Willow (Salix alba<\/a><\/em>) from Europe<\/a>.
