Liriodendron tulipifera, Linn. Fig. 2183. Tall tree, to 150, rarely to 190 ft., with a trunk to 10 ft. diam., often destitute of branches for a considerable height, glabrous: lvs. about as broad as long, with 2 lobes at the truncate and notched apex and 2-4 lobes at the base, bluish green above, pale or glaucous beneath, 5-6 in. long: fls. greenish yellow, marked orange within at the base, 1 ½-2 in. long; petals ovate or oval; fertile carpels acute. May, June. Mass, to Wis., south to Fla. and Miss. S.S. 1:13. Em. 2:605. B.M. 275. Gng. 7:259. A.G. 1892:485. Mn. -2, p. 4; 6, p. 145. Gn. 34, p. 42; 76, p. 646. F.S.R. 2. pp. 5, 7; 3, p. 203. G.C. III. 55:255. V. 20:86. Var. pyramidale, Lav. (var. fastigiatum, Hort.). With upright branches, forming a narrow pyramid. Var. integrifolium, Kirchn. Lvs. rounded at the base without lobes. Var. obtusilobum, Pursh. Lvs. with only 1 rounded lobe on each side of the base. Var. contortum, Goeschke. Lvs. with 2 lobes on each side, twisted so that the upper lobes often form a right angle to the lower ones. There are also several vars. with variegated lvs., of which var. aureomarginatum, Hort. (var. panache, Hort.), with lvs. edged yellow, is one of the best. F.S. 19:2025; 20:2081.—In the Middle West, liriodendron is universally known as whitewood. To lumbermen in the East it is known as poplar and tulip poplar.
