In Brazil, the cultivated species of genus Salix have great importance in crafts, with different properties in relation to malleability and resistance. This paper aimed to apply near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) for discrimination of four Salix species, comparing solid sample and particulate material. Samples from Salix viminalis, Salix x rubens, Salix purpurea and Salix sp. were collected in seven sites in the region of Rio Canoas Valley, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. It was obtained absorbance spectra in FT-NIR (Bruker Tensor 37). The shape and particle size of Salix spp. influenced the discrimination of species by near infrared. The technique had a more efficient distinction for smaller particle size samples.
