NAS-099 Populus tremuloides & grandidentata.png Populus tremuloides & grandidentata Section Populus contains the two North American trees quaking aspen (P. tremuloides) and bigtooth aspen (P. grandidentata). The section also contains several Eurasian species, including P. tremula and P. alba. All of these species are known to hybridize with one another.

Salix
The genus Salix contains the trees and shrubs known as willows, of which about 36 native or naturalized taxa have been discovered in New York. The organization used here is based in part on Argus (1999)George W.

Longifoliae are S. columbiana, S. exigua, S. interior, S. melanopsis, S. sessilifolia, S. taxifolia, and S. thurberi. Only S. interior is currently listed as being part of the New York flora.
The New York Flora Atlas follows Flora of North America in treating the native sandbar willow, S. interior as a separate species from S. exigua, and not just a subspecies.
Willows of subgenus Longifoliae are generally clonal by root suckers with multiple upright stems.

It should be noted that although Salix cordata Muhl. is now considered to be an illegitimate synonym of S. eriocephala, Salix cordata Michx. is the accepted name for "sand dune willow" in Salix subg. Vetrix sect. Hastatae, which is also native to New York. Both of these species have understandably been referred to by the common name "heart-leaved willow," but Leonora Goodrich, describing S. cordata Muhl. (non Michx.) in her 1912 Flora of Onondaga County, notes: "Base of leaves so slightly cordate it hardly warrants the name."L. Leonora Hutchinson Goodrich (1912).
