Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 928 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM p. occidentAlis. grows more rapidly, attains a larger size, and may be propa- gated much more readily by cuttings. Both species ripen seeds in Britain, in fine seasons. P. oc- cidentalis is readily known from P. ori- entalis, in the winter season, by its bark scaling oft' much less freely, or, in young or middle-sized trees, scarcely at all; and, in the summer season, by its leaves having red petioles, and being but slightly lobed (Jig. 1732. a), in- stead of being palmate like those of P. orientalis (_^g. 1732. b), which have green petioles, and by its globular catkins being nearly smooth, while those of P. orientalis are rough.
