|discussion=<p>Vegetative specimens of <i>Salix hastata</i> often are misidentified as <i>S. barclayi</i>. The characters that indicate <i>S. hastata</i>, or sometimes possible hybrids, are the presence of ferruginous hairs on juvenile leaves or adaxial midribs of mature leaves, leaf margins often entire or with teeth present only distally, and buds with inner membranaceous layer not separating from outer layer.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> is distinguished from <i>S. farriae</i> and <i>S. hastata</i> by having bud-scales with inner membranaceous layer separating from outer layer, juvenile blades glabrous, pilose, or moderately densely villous, largest medial blades oblong, narrowly elliptic, elliptic, oblanceolate, or obovate, margins always toothed, pistillate flowering branchlets 4–24 mm, staminate flowering branchlets 0–17 mm, floral bracts brown to black, moderately densely hairy, anthers 0.6–1 mm, styles 0.6–2.5 mm, and stipes 0.4–1.5 mm; <i>S. farriae</i> has bud-scales with inner membranaceous layer separating from outer layer, juvenile blades glabrous or sparsely villous, largest medial blades narrowly elliptic to elliptic, margins usually entire, pistillate flowering branchlets 1.5–14 mm, staminate flowering branchlets 1–5 mm, floral bracts bicolor, brown, or black, sparsely hairy, anthers 0.3–0.6 mm, styles 0.3–1.2 mm, and stipes 0.5–1.2 mm; and <i>S. hastata</i> has bud-scales with inner membranaceous layer not separating from outer layer, juvenile blades sparsely pubescent, largest medial blades narrowly to broadly elliptic, narrowly ovate, or ovate, margins usually entire, pistillate flowering branchlets 1.5–9 mm, staminate flowering branchlets 1–7 mm, floral bracts brown or bicolor, sparsely hairy, anthers 0.4–0.6 mm, styles 0.2–0.48 mm, and stipes 0.4–1.2 mm.</p><!--
--><p>Hybrids:</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> is morphologically highly variable. While it is possible that much of this variability is inherent, hybridization and introgression have played an important role.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> forms natural hybrids with <i>S. arctica</i>, <i>S. barrattiana</i>, <i>S. brachycarpa</i>, <i>S. cascadensis</i>, <i>S. commutata</i>, <i>S. farriae</i>, <i>S. hastata</i>, <i>S. hookeriana</i>, <i>S. richardsonii</i>, and <i>S. stolonifera</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. barrattiana</i> is characterized by oily buds that stain the pressing paper yellow, and leaves often entire, or nearly so, and closely gland-dotted, and not glaucous abaxially. Some hybrids resemble <i>S. barclayi</i> in having ovaries glabrous and leaves serrulate and slightly glaucous abaxially, while others resemble <i>S. barrattiana</i> in having stipules marcescent and leaves short-hairy on both surfaces and not glaucous abaxially, but it is the presence of the oily buds characteristic of <i>S. barrattiana</i> that indicates their hybridity. The hybrids usually were from populations that included both parents. An important ramification of the discovery of this hybrid is that the specimen on which the chromosome number for <i>S. barclayi</i> (R. D. Dorn 1976) is based is a plant with oily buds, which has leaves with a mixture of weakly developed teeth and closely gland-dotted, entire margins, and is putatively identified as this hybrid. Further chromosome counts for <i>S. barclayi</i> are needed. Hybrids are known in British Columbia from the mountains in the Peace and Liard river basins, and in Mt. Robson National Park. The hybrid should be suspected wherever the parents occur together.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. cascadensis</i>, collected in Washington in alpine mats growing with both parents, has ovaries with hairy beaks indicating hybridization.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. commutata</i> resembles <i>S. barclayi</i> in having leaves glaucous abaxially, and <i>S. commutata</i> in having leaves hairy on both surfaces (northern British Columbia, Unalaska Island, and southeastern Alaska).</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. farriae</i> is represented by a series of specimens resembling <i>S. barclayi</i> but with ferruginous hairs on juvenile leaves or on adaxial midribs of mature leaves, found from the Rocky Mountains of Alberta to southern Yukon and adjacent Northwest Territories. Similar specimens from Alaska may be the hybrid <i>S. barclayi</i> × <i>S. hastata</i>. Both of these hybrids require further study. See 63. <i>S. hastata</i> and 64. <i>S. farriae</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. hookeriana</i> hybrids or introgressants at Tanis Lake, Alaska, have subentire leaves and stipes glabrous or hairy.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. richardsonii</i> hybrids and intergrades are relatively common in Alaska, British Columbia, and Yukon. They resemble <i>S. barclayi</i> in having catkins borne on distinct flowering branchlets, small stipules, anthers yellow and longer, and <i>S. richardsonii</i> in having marcescent stipules, branchlets and branches coarsely villous with spreading hairs, pistillate nectaries longer than stipes, and catkins sometimes on relatively short flowering branchlets.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. scouleriana</i> has the general appearance of <i>S. barclayi</i> but the densely hairy ovaries and the relatively long stigmas (0.9–0.92 mm) of <i>S. scouleriana</i>. It was growing with <i>S. barclayi</i> in openings created in white spruce by bark beetles.</p><!--
--><p><i>Salix barclayi</i> × <i>S. stolonifera</i> is characterized by relatively small leaves with irregularly serrulate margins, some young leaves reddish green, and a prostrate habit (G. W. Argus 1973).</p>
