Populus balsamifera, Linn. Balsam Poplar. TacaMahac. Figs. 3142, 3143. Tall upright tree, with a narrow top and glabrous twigs: lvs. thick and firm, erect, whitened beneath, usually smaller than in most poplars of this group, glabrous except that petioles are slightly pubescent, ovate-lanceolate or oval, tapering toward the top and obtuse or narrowly rounded at base, finely and obtusely toothed: catkins drooping, slender but rather densely fld., appearing in very early spring; ovary 2-carpelled: caps, pedicelled. Mackenzie River to Newfoundland and to Brit. Col., southward in the northern tier of states; not in Asia. S.S. 9:490. Var. Michauxii, Henry (P. Michauxii, Dode. P. candicans, Amer. Auth. in part, not Ait.), is a form with slightly cordate or rounded- based ovate lvs. and slightly pubescent on petioles, veins beneath and twigs. G.C. III. 59:230. The native P. balsamifera is sometimes seen about farm buildings and roadsides, where it makes a durable and interesting tree. The dull whiteness of the under side of the leaves affords a pleasant variety and contrast in its foliage, and the fragrance of the resinous buds in spring is agreeable to most persons. It is a desirable tree for occasional planting, but, like the Lombardy, it generally appears to best advantage when placed amongst other trees. It is a hardier tree than the Lombardy, and does not run quickly to such extravagant heights. In cult., it seems to present a variety of forms or else enters into a number of hybrids. The true P. balsamifera is said to be rare in cult, in Cent. Eu., and only in the male sex.In Mont, and Idaho is a balsam poplar with sessile 3-carpelled caps., as in P. trichocarpa, although differing in other fr. characters from that species: lvs. usually broader than in P. balsamifera and often subcordate, glabrous. This form Rydberg considers to be P. hastata, Dode.In the Himalayan region, P. ciliata. Wall., belongs to this group, but it is probably not in cult, in this country: lvs. ovate or ovate-cordate, acuminate, glabrous except for the gland-climate unequal teeth, the base 3-nerved: a large tree, with lvs. 3-7 in. long.<br />
