Balsam Poplar, Balm of Gilead, or Tacamahac. (Populus halsami- fera) Fifty or 60 feet ordinarily, but sometimes 100 feet high. Bark rough and furrowed. The great size of the buds and their thick shiny coat of fragrant gum are strong marks. Wood much as in the preceding, but weighs 23 lbs. Leaves 3 to 6 inches long. There is a narrow- leafed form called angustifolia.
