Up to now, the Alaskan Willow, Salix alaxensis, was known from only on
e station in Nunavik, northern Quebec. Recent collections, sight recor
ds, and one overlooked literature report allowed the authors to add so
me localities along the fluvial axis Watts Lake-Deception Bay, and to
add new areas such as the Salluit region, Kangisujuaq and Lanyan Lake,
the last one in western Nunavik. A suspected hybrid between S. alaxen
sis and S. lanata subsp. calcicola is reported from Kangiqsujuaq.
