? and willow


Explanation:
Ai!! I know that salgueira is a willow - as in a weeping willow - but barrinha - phew! It's various things but, like you, I can't find anything botanical. Sorry, Jeremy. If I come up with anything, I shall let you know.

Notes to answerer
Asker: hi Sue, i think salgueiro is willow - these are types of shrub/bracken rather than trees, growing on windswept clifftops. thanks for your help.
