Wikipedia Abstract

Salix taxifolia (yewleaf or yew-leaf willow) is a species of willow native to all of southern Mexico, also Pacific Coast regions, north to Sinaloa, and in the south Pacific Coast of Mexico into central Guatemala. Scattered populations are also reported from northern Mexico and from the US states of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. It is a large shrub or tree with narrow linear leaves similar to those of a yew (Taxus spp.), thus its common name. Its range is similar to that of the Bonpland willow, S. bonplandiana.
