The green ash is easily 

 recognised by the brilliant 

 colour of its young shoots ; 

 and by its leaves being nearly 

 of the same colour on both 

 surfaces. From this uniform- 

 ity, which is rarely observed 

 in the foliage of trees, Dr. 

 Muhlenburg applied the spe- 

 cific name cdncolor ; and Mi- 

 chaux gave this tree the popular

name of the green ash. The leaves vary in length from Gin. to 15 in. 

 with from 2 to 4 pairs of leaflets, and an odd one, according to the 

 vigour of the tree, and to the coolness of the soil in which it grows. The 

 leaflets are petiolated, and distinctly denticulated. The seeds are small ; and 

 the tree does not attain a great size. There is a splendid specimen 70 ft. 

 high on the banks of the Thames, adjoining Pope's villa, which is that figured 

 in our first edition.
