ANALYSIS OF THE GROUPS.
Catkins sessile on the points of the branchlets. Leaves below the cat-
kins, proceeding from the sides of the branchlets
Catkins originating in terminal buds, seated on leafy peduncles, having
new buds. Peduncles permanent, and containing the branchlets
Terminal bud, and generally several more next the point of the branch-
lets, producing leaves; the intermediate lateral ones, catkins.
Scales of the catkins of one colour, yellowish green; falling off
before the fruit is ripe

Scales of the catkins of one colour, yellowish green, permanent
Scales of the catkins discoloured at the point.

Anthers, after flowering, black

Authers, after flowering, yellow or brown.

From the terminal bud of the branches of the preceding year, proceeds a new branch clothed with leaves, having the buds for a future year in their axils; and on the top of this is placed a catkin. The catkins, therefore, are seated upon a leafy permanent peduncle, by which the branch is continued and lengthened. Very small shrubs, with subterranean creeping trunks, and ascending branches.

The following species, Koch states, are not sufficiently known to him to be comprehended in any of the preceding groups: S. violacea Willd. and S. Trevirani Spreng., which are in the Botanic Garden, Erlangen, but have not yet (1828) flowered. The following Koch had not seen : — S. versifolia Wahl., S. punctata Wahl., S. corúscans Willd., S. cinerascens Willd., S. refléxa Willd., S. rufinérvis Dec., S. canaliculata Bess., and S. campestris Fries. Very many of these are, probably, either synonymes or varieties of those already described; as are the following:-S. splendens, rùbens, iserana, nepetifòlia, and multiflòra Prest; and S. refléxa sedinénsis and Pseudo-caprea Compend.

Bullet derives the name also from populus, but says that it alludes to the leaves being easily agitated, like the people. From the Spanish name for this tree, alamo, is derived the word alameda, the name given to public walks in Spain, from their being generally planted with poplars.

Description. All the species are deciduous trees, mostly growing to a large size; natives of Europe, North America, some parts of Asia, and the north of Africa. They are all of rapid growth, some of them extremely so; and they are all remarkable for a degree of tremulous motion in their leaves, when agitated by the least breath of wind. The poplar is dioecious; and the catkins of the males of most of the species are very ornamental, from the red
