Willows are a very difficult group to identify. This species is known by the marked contrast in color between the upper and lower leaf surfaces. (Peattie, 1930) The Latin species name refers to the contrasting colors of the leaf surfaces, which aid in recognition. Pussy willow catkins are the first willow catkins to appear each year.
