ואימא הכי נמי ערבי נחל אמר רחמנא מכל מקום
But perhaps it is indeed so? "Willows of the brook," the Torah says, implying from any place.
Tosefta Sukkah
What is the tsaphtsaph? It has leaves serrated like a saw, and such a willow is not valid ; its stem is white and its leaf rounded. A myrtle and a willow which have been lopped, and palms coming out between them, are valid. The size of a myrtle and a willow must be three handbreadths, that of a palm-branch four. Rabbi Tarphon says: In a cubit there are five handbreadths. As for these four kinds of plants, just as nothing must be taken away from them so must nothing be added to them.
