xPopulus canadensis Moench $ [621], Planted, Avenue 
Lodge, Hitchin, May 3, Oct. 6, 1925.— J. E. Little. Answers 
the description as I have it of this tree. It lies between 
P. marilandica Bose, and P. nigra L., but the leaves are

species. — J. Fraser. Messrs. A. Henry and A. B. Jackson 
consider that the proper name is rather P. marilandica Bose.

is annually raided here by the gipsies, who sell the blossoms

six flowers. Introduced of course, but at a remote date.

June 11, 1909. — W. A. Shoolbred, Comm. National Mus. of 
Wales. Poor specimens, but from a little known locality. 
It occurs in several other places besides Mickleham, Surrey. 
For example Monmouthshire and Gloucester have been 
mentioned (“ Countryside,” 1905, p. 344) ; and I believe the
