Narrow lanceolate leaf of the Weeping Willow. Fig. 13. Deltoid leaf of the White Birch. 15. The leaf of the Flowering Almond (Fig. 11) is lanceo- late. It is narrower than ovate, shaped like a lance, having the lower half wider than the upper. This "Willow leaf (Fig. 12) is narrowly lanceolate. The leaf of the Lombardy Pop- lar, or of the "White Birch (Fig. 13), is so broad at the base as to form a three-sided figure, like the Greek letter (A) delta. Hence it is a deltoid leaf. 14.
