Populus

                 Populus is a genus of 25–35 species of deciduous flowering plants in the family Salicaceae, native to most of the Northern Hemisphere. English names variously applied to different species include poplar, aspen, and cottonwood. The genus has a large genetic diversity, and can grow from anywhere between 15–50 m (50 to 165 ft) tall, with trunks of up to 2.5 m (8 ft) diameter. 
                 The genus Populus has traditionally been divided into six sections on the basis of leaf and flower characters. These are: Populus section Populus – aspens and White Poplar, Populus section Aigeiros – black poplars, some of the cottonwoods, Populus section Tacamahaca – balsam poplars, Populus section Leucoides – necklace poplars or bigleaf poplars, Populus section Turanga – subtropical poplars, Populus section Abaso – Mexican poplars.
