The difference between poplar and boxwood

Poplar is commonly used in northern China, which is soft, stable and cheap. In ancient furniture, it is often used as the accessory of elm furniture and the fetal bone of lacquer furniture. This is the so-called poplar, also known as "Populus simonii", which often has a piece of luster, so it is also called "satin poplar", not the kind of Su Yang, Populus euphratica and Populus euphratica introduced in the middle of this century. Poplar often has a "coquettish taste", which is lighter and softer than birch. On the other hand, birch has a slight fragrance and often has very fine brown-black water stains. This is the difference between the two.

Characteristics of poplar

Due to the loose structure and relatively poor material, the application scope of poplar fiber is greatly limited. At present, poplar fiber is mainly used as solid wood composite floor core board, building template, bottom board, short-term industrial raw material or road and river greening tree species.

China boxwood (Rehder &; E. H. Wilson) M. Cheng): shrub or small tree, 1-6 meters high; Branches are cylindrical, with longitudinal edges and grayish white; Branchlets quadrangular, all pubescent or glabrous on outer opposite faces. The leaves are leathery, broadly elliptic, broadly obovate, ovoid or oblong, bright, with prominent midvein and often fine hairs in the lower part. Inflorescence axillary, capitate, densely flowered, male flowers about 10, pedicellate-free, outer sepals oval, inner sepals nearly round, 2.5-3 mm long, glabrous, stamens and anthers 4 mm long, sterile gynophore rod-shaped with enlarged ends; Female sepals 3 mm long, ovary slightly longer than style, glabrous. Capsule subglobose. It blooms in March and bears fruit in May-June.

Morphological characteristics of boxwood

Boxwood is a shrub or small tree with a height of1-6m; Branches are cylindrical, with longitudinal edges and grayish white; Branchlets quadrangular, opposite surfaces pubescent or glabrous, internodes 0.5-2 cm long. The leaves are leathery, broadly elliptic, broadly obovate, ovoid or oblong, most of them are1.5-3.5cm long and 0.8-2cm wide, the leaf tips are rounded or blunt, the notches are small, the base is not sharp, round or sharp or wedge-shaped, the leaves are bright, the midvein is prominent, the lower part has fine hairs, the lateral veins are obvious, and the midvein on the back of the leaves is flat or slightly prominent.

Inflorescence axillary, capitate, densely flowered, inflorescence axis 3-4 mm long, hairy, bracts broadly ovate, 2-2.5 mm long, hairy on the back; Male flower: about 10, without pedicels, the outer sepals are oval, the inner sepals are nearly round, 2.5-3 mm long, glabrous, the stamens and anthers are 4 mm long, the sterile pistil has a rod-shaped stalk, the top is enlarged, and the height is about 2 mm (the height is about 2/3 or several times the length of sepals); Female flower: Sepals 3 mm long, ovary slightly longer than style, hairless, style thick and flat, stigma inverted heart-shaped, extending down to the middle of style.

Capsule is nearly spherical, 6-8(- 10) mm long, and persistent style is 2-3 mm long. It blooms in March and bears fruit in May-June.
