This identification sheet was prepared by members of the EUFORGEN
Populus nigra Network, in order to facilitate the simplest
possible identification of the species from cultivated hybrids and
possible introgressive forms. The morphological traits common to
different species of the genus Populus are not referred to.
The drawings should be considered as having an
indicative value in the field and can not represent strict taxonomic
criteria. All illustrations were drawn by Mr Filip Coopman of the
Institute for Forestry and Game Management in Geraardsbergen,
Belgium. The original drawings were kindly provided as Belgium's
contribution in kind to the Network.
This identification Sheet is also available in
French, Spanish, Italian and German. Dutch and Russian versions are
in preparation. Copies can be obtained from the
EUFORGEN Secretariat
