The pictures that I sent were from a paddy field [wetland] with the trees growing along the bunds. But there were a few of these trees growing on the banks of the River Kabini some distance away.
I did think of Salix tetrasperma after I read the description and saw the picture here<http://opendata.keystone-foundation.org/salix-tetrasperma-roxb-var-terasperma>. But the trees I saw were much more golden/yellow hued as in my photo.The leaves look similar, but I really don't know enough to distinguish!
