Populus tremuloides (species) (Populus (genus), Salicaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of tall, fast-growing tree native to cooler areas of North America. The name refers to the tendency of leaves to tremble or quake in even a slight breeze due to their flattened petioles. It is most easily distinguished from a similar European species, P. tremula, by the shape of its leaves, which have more pointed tips, and by growing via root suckers: it propagates itself primarily through root sprouts, and extensive clonal colonies are common. The leaves are food for various insects. A substance in the bark was extracted by Native Americans and the pioneers of the American West as a quinine substitute. The soft, weak wood is used as paper pulp and for other purposes.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 原生於北美較冷地區、生長快速的高大喬木物種。「顫楊」得名原因在於其葉柄平坦而導致即使只是極輕的微風都會引起葉片的震顫。與另一個相似歐洲物種—歐洲山楊（P. tremula）最易區別之處在於其葉片的形狀，美洲山楊葉片有較多的尖端，並且藉由根蘖而生長：主要藉由根出條而自我繁殖，因此常有廣泛的無性生殖群落。其葉片是許多種昆蟲的食物。美洲印第安人與西部拓荒者會將由樹皮中所萃取的物質作為奎寧的替代品。質軟而脆弱的木材則可用來作為紙漿及其他的用途。 |
| Dutch ..... Grote en snel groeiende boom die inheems is in de koelere streken van Noord-Amerika. Door de platte bladstengels gaan de bladeren al bij een zeer zachte bries ritselen, vandaar de volksnaam. Men kan deze soort het eenvoudigst onderscheiden van P. tremula, een Europese boom die er veel op lijkt, door de vorm van de bladeren, waarvan de uiteinden puntiger zijn, en door de uitlopers van de wortels. De boom plant zichzelf voornamelijk voort via de wortels, waaruit nieuwe bomen kunnen groeien. Grote kolonies bomen die tot hetzelfde wortelstelsel behoren, zijn niet ongebruikelijk. De bladeren worden gegeten door diverse insecten. De indianen en de pioniers van het westen van Amerika extraheerden een stof uit de schors die diende als surrogaat voor kinine. Het zachte, slappe hout gebruikt men om papier te maken en voor andere doelen. |
