Hi Garg ji and GS Sir,
I found after detail study of the type specimen and protologue that it might be happened that D. Don (1925) described the male and female plant of *Salix disperma* based on two different (specimens) species. This has created confusion in determining the species since there is no* Salix* species is available from Nepal with the characteristics of male and female flower as described by D. Don (1825). So I could not consider *Salix disperma *as a good species which was described from an admixture of collection of two different species.
