Populus sieboldii, Miq. Fig. 3131. Tree, 20-30 ft., of spreading habit, suckering freely, with rather dark and heavy foliage: lvs. large, round-ovate, with a short triangular subacute apex, at the base truncate or gradually narrowed into a short petiole, dentate-serrate, with shallow glandular-incurved teeth, more or less whitened beneath. Japan; the wood used for matches and the tree less abundant than formerly.— Hardy in W. N. Y. Said by Wilson to be a tree of medium size in Japan, very like P. tremula in general appearance, and suckers freely. P. rotundifolia, Griff. (P. microcarpa, Hook, f.), is very similar, but the lvs. of old branches are more or less cordate at base: lvs. 3-4 in. across, long-petioled, orbicular, sinuate: fruiting catkins 3-5 in. long and very slender, with a tomentose rachis: caps, only 1/8in. long, with a very short pedicel. Himalaya region; probably not in cult, in this country. P. rotundifolia var. Duclouxiana, Gombocz. (P. Duc- louxiana, Dode. P. macranthela, Lev.), of S. W. China, has still longer fruiting catkins (6-10 in. long) and longer-pedicelled caps.

III. Black Poplars And Cottonwoods. Lvs. not lobed, mostly wider and broader-based than ovate in form; mature lvs. hard or firm in texture, green on both surfaces, mostly with a clearly marked translucent or hyaline edge, (which may appear as a thin indurated line in the dried specimen); petiole commonly flattened, at least toward the blade: terminal buds medium-large and more or less viscid, but not markedly odorous: mostly large trees.
