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 céncolor ; and Mi- 
chaux gave this tree the popular

name of the green ash. The seaves vary in length from 6in. to 15in. 
with from 2 to 4 pairs of leaflets, and an odd one, according to the 
vigour of the tree, and tothe 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. ‘here is a splendid specimen 70 ft. 
high on the Lanks of the Thames, adjoining Pope’s villa, which is that figured 
in our first edition.
