Here is the list of Populus … found in India. 1. Populus alba 2. P. ciliata 3. P. deltoides 4. P. euphratica 5. P. gamblei 7. P. nigra var. italica Thanks a lot, …, These have been incorporated at Salix & Populus Thanks for species list of Salicaceae. However, in Populus, one species is missing: Populus pamirica Kom.
I have seen this species in entire Ladakh.
http://www.tropicos.org/Name/28300611?projectid=32 … can you please share the picture of Populus pamirica in this group? It would be really interesting to see the plants from Ladakh. As per eFlora of Pakistan P. balsamifera of Indian authors incl. FBI 5: 638 and R. Parker, For. Fl. Punj. ed. 3: 510. 1956 (non L.) is actually P. palmirica. This is significant as your list does not list either. My plant from Dachigam should be this if not P. balsamifera
Plz confirm whether it is Populus pamirica Kom. Please indicate the place. Looks similar to my herbarium sheet of P. balsamifera, common in Dachigam. Wurdwan Khistwar – a region at trijunction of zanaskar, pahalgam and Marwa Dachan in j & k. As I already discuss in my previous mail regarding this P. pamirica– P. balsamifera issue. I’m not willing to include neither P. pamirica nor P. balsamifera in Indian list. Thanks a lot … for settling this issue. Thanks … for your expert comments. I believe in India we badly require family experts like you. But that is not priority agenda for funding agencies. … I’m totally agree with you. The confusing taxa can be properly identified with the help of molecular technique. But it is pretty expensive. .

I’m sure about that after seeing the type material of P. pamirica (deposited at Leningrad) and checking the description of this species in Flora of the USSR. I do not agree with to eFlora of Pakistan that “Indian specimens of P. balsamifera actually belong to P. pamirica”. Rather I believe on the work of C.K. Schneider (Pl. Wilson., 1916) who included the Indian “Populus balsamifera”(of Hooker, Brandis) under Populus szechuanica var. tibetica. Schneider’s work seems to be more justified as his work is very original (not copied from other) and simply marvelous. .

Populus nigra var. italica . Future of Poplar in India by Jagdish Kishwan1, Dinesh Kumar2
a) Indigenous species:
Indigenous species of poplar occur in the Himalayan region in northern part of India.
P. ciliata P. gamblei P. jacquemontii var. glauca P. rotundifolia P. euphratica P. alba b) Exotic species: P. deltoides P. nigra Other species/hybrids:
P. x euramericana P. x berolinensis
P. canescens
P. maximowiczii
P. trichocarpa
P. simonii
P. szechuanica
P. yunnanensis
P. deltoides performed better than all other exotic poplars in the plains of North India, and relegated most other exotic poplars to the status of anonymity in India. In the hills, P. yunnanensis and P. x euramericana ‘Robusta’ proved better than other species (Seth, 1969).

…………………..
In India two genera Populus L. and Salix L. are reported under Salicaceae sensu stricto. A key to the genera is presented below:
1a. Vegetative buds with many outer scales; terminal buds frequently present; catkins mostly pendulous;
floral bracts dentate or lobed; flower with disc but without any glands ………………………… 1. Populus
1b.Vegetative buds with one outer scale; terminal bud absent; catkins generally erect; occasionally
spreading or pendulous; floral bracts generally entire; flowers without any disc, but with glands.. 2. Salix
I’ll post some more text in coming days.
……………….. Very good and clear to understand description.
Some addition which I found from Flowers of Himalaya by Polunin which might be useful. (… may add or alter if anything is not correct)
SALIX : The flowers are insect pollinated. The leaves are narrow and short stalked. POPULUS: Flowers are wind pollinated numerous and pendulous. Leaves with broad blade and slender leaf stalk.
……………………… POPULUS : Leaves lobed, buds dry hairy P.caspica Leaves toothed (Not lobed) buds sticky P.ciliata (Himalayan Poplar) P.pamirica (P.balsamifera) P.jacquemontiana Dode var. glauca P. nigra L. cultivar italica.

POPULUS L.
The genus Populus L., popularly known as Poplar distributed throughout the world chiefly in the northern temperate regions and a few are extending to East Africa ( Mabberley, 2008).
The genus Populus has the characters as follows:
Deciduous trees; branches lon. Leaves alternate; leaf bladesovate, deltoid, rhombic, elliptic,rarely lanceolate or linear, often dimorphic or even polymorphic; petioles long, terete, or laterally compressed. Catkins appear before the leaves ( precocious), long pedunculate, pendulous, often lax-flowered; flowers pedicellate; borne on a disc; male flowers: stamens 4-many; female flowers: ovary sessile, surrounded by the disc, 1-loculed. Capsules 2-4-valved; seeds numerous.
The genus Populus L. consists of 35 species ( Mabberlay, 2002 and 2008), but according to Fang et al.( 1999) and Ali( 2001) Populus L. have 100 species which are distributed in Asia, Europe, North America and Northern Africa.
Most of the species of Populus L. are distributed in the North-Western Himalayan region in India. P. ciliata has extended distribution from Jammu & Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh of India. This genus shows a longer path of distribution from Afghanistan to China touching Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. P. alba, P. nigra var. italica, and P. deltoides etc. are stated to be basically introduced for a long time. Several exotic species and their hybrids are in trials mainly in the North-western Himalaya.
Large scale cultivation are mainly occur in tarai and Hilly regions of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. As the wood of Poplars are directly related to wood industry, different business houses and companies take initiative for spreading and increasing Populus cultivation. Species of Populus L. in cultivation are known as Poplar, Aspen, Cottonwood are also known to cultivated in gardens. However, much plant is planted for pulp wood, windbreaks, avenues and also as ornamental. …………………………………. .

. I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Populus Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. .

Pl. go through Populus (Salicaceae) page with comparative images of species in efloraofindia. On clicking the link of species, one can check the complete details. Thank you very much for the nice compilation … You are more than an Expert Botanist. Thanks, … I am just using the expertise of our members and Experts, in various threads of our discussions.
