populifolius

Populus populifolius is a binomial name that can refer to various entities, most commonly a species of tree or a botanical descriptor. In the context of botany, "populifolius" is a Latin adjective meaning "poplar-leaved." This descriptor is often used in scientific names to indicate that the leaves of a particular plant resemble those of a poplar tree (genus Populus). Therefore, a plant with the specific epithet populifolius likely shares leaf characteristics such as shape, margin, or venation with poplar species.

Historically, the name has been applied to certain plants that were later reclassified. For instance, it might have been used in older taxonomic systems for species that are now known by different names. It is important to consult current botanical classifications to identify the precise organism referred to by "populifolius." This term is not a common name but a technical descriptor used within the scientific community for plant identification and classification.
