Note. — Introduced species. — In addition to these native Poplars, two Euro- pean species are very commonly planted — the Lombardy Poplar (P. nigra Italica), recognized by its tall, spire-like form, and the White Poplar {P. alba), easily distin- guished by its leaves, green above and very white-cottony beneath. The Poplars belong to the Willow family and resemble the Willows, especially in flower and fruit characters. The nodding, worm-like, staminate and pistillate catkins are borne upon different trees and, opening before the leaves, are conspicuous in early spring. The Poplars are quite widely distributed, extending from the Arctic circle to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The wood of Poplars is very soft and light and especially liable to warp, but is cheap and useful for making toys, boxes and smaller furniture. Much of it now goes to the pulp mills. The Poplars, like the Willows, can be propagated easily from 25.
