The margin is generally cut into by sharp toothed lobes : sometimes it is merely jagged or slightly toothed. The leaves ol the suckers have conspicuous lobes, and are larger than the others, measuring as much as four inches against their two to three inches. The leaf-surfaces are not so flat and even as those of Aspen leaves, and they hang less loosely than either these or Black Poplar leaves. The leaf-stalks are flattened like those of other Poplars, but are not so long in proportion to the leaf as on the PLAN ()!• LEAF.
