Fraxinus pennsylvanica lanceolata (Borkli.) Sarg. [Fraxiniis 

 lanccolata Burkh.] [Fraxinus viridis INIichx. f.] 



Considered by some authors to he a distinct species, and by others 

 a variety of F. pennsylvanica Marsh., which it resembles. The main 

 points of difiference are : 



The usual absence of pubescence from the branchlets. the 

 under side of the leaflets, and the petioles. 



The rather narrower, shorter, and more sharply serrate 

 leaflets. 



The color of the leaves, which is bright green on both 

 sides. 

 A very hardy tree, of rapid growth and desirable habit, making it 

 useful for ornamental and street planting. Easily transplanted. 



The green ash occurs occasionally along the shores of Lake 

 Champlain.
