Salix phlebophylla, the skeletonleaf willow or skeleton-leaf willow, is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, with an amphi-Beringian distribution.[1][2] A prostrate shrub reaching at most 1.5 in (4 cm), its tiny leaves persist on the plant until only the withered brown veins remain.[2]
