TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name of Lemmons willow is Salix
lemmonii Bebb. [1].  It is closely related and possibly conspecific with
Geyer willow (S. geyeriana) [1].  Brunsfeld and Johnson [1] reported
that plants referred to in the past by numerous authorities as S.
geyeriana var. meleiana differ from S. geyeriana in a number of respects
and more closely match descriptions of S. lemmonii found in Idaho.
Hitchcock and Cronquist [11] have stated that although S. geyeriana and
S. lemmonii are obviously closely related, they should be retained as
distinct species until the necessity to combine them is clearly
demonstrated.
