The naming method of poplars follows the principle: the naming of poplars is a very complicated issue, and the naming method has been confused due to the different opinions of scholars. Such as some have been widely cultivated.

There is no correct uniform name for the popular poplar species. For some poplar varieties cultivated in various regions, it is even more confusing. Sometimes there is only a Chinese name or code name, but no Latin name, which often causes undue losses in production. In response to this phenomenon, my country has established the Chinese Poplar Committee, a member of the International Poplar Committee. The naming rules for poplars should follow the relevant provisions of the "International Plant Nomenclature Regulations", "International Color Culture Plant Naming Regulations" and "International Poplar Naming Regulations".

Poplar branchlets have more than 2 top buds and bud scales. Single leaves alternate, ovoid or nearly round. Catkin inflorescence, dioecious, without petals, with circular discs and bracts. The top of the bract is divided, and the stamens are numerous. Capsules. Small, crested. It has certain resistance to sulfur dioxide and harmful gases. It is one of the good tree species for greening the environment and purifying the space, and fixing water and soil.
