Abstract

While studying the morphology of Populus ciliata × P. maximowiczii hybrid it was found that the growth potential was maximum in clone CM2 4-15/91 with height and diameter of 2.11 m and 1.70 cm respectively. Average leaf blade length was 1.9 times compared to average maximum leaf width and average nerve length was 5 times to average petiole length in the clones studied. Average stomatal density was found around 240 stomata mm-2 with average stomatal length was 1.6 times than the average stomatal width. The stomata was found to be elliptic shaped and paracytic type with elaborate stranded patterns found emanating from stomata. The details of qualitative morphological variability found in the clones are presented in detail in this paper.
