%X <p><em>Salix</em> 'Aquatica Gigantea', widely experimented and promising species for temperate zone short rotation forestry, has since 1950 recorded in Finland 23 times with different clone numbers. <em>Salix</em> x <em>dasyclados</em> Wimm., by morphological, cultivational and productivity characteristics similar willow has been recorded 16 times.</p>
<p>The nomenclature and origin of both willows have remained unclear in field research. Recent observations, based on morphological analyses and chromosome studies suggest that ’Aguatica gigantea’ and most<em> S.</em> x<em> dasuclados</em> clones can be collected under one Siberian species: <em>Salix burjatica</em> Nasarov. The true <em>Salix </em>x<em> dasyclados</em> Wimm. is a female hybrid<em> S.</em> x<em> viminalis x cinerea</em>, famous West-European basket willow that has been very little experimented in Finland.</p>
