Frequently placed in synonymy, mostly with 'Dalecarlica' but described as having leaves less deeply incised, also thick male catkins and long pendulous twigs.

In winter the vegetative buds of 'Laciniata' are pointed, those of 'Dalecarlica' blunt and rounded.

This cultivar does not appear to be in SE Australia where all cut-leaf cultivars are best placed in 'Dalecarlica'. However, there does appear to be some confusion over the application of the cultivar names 'Dalecarlica' and 'Laciniata'.
