Poplar
   Heb. libneh, "white", (Gen. 30:37; Hos. 4:13), in all
   probability the storax tree (Styrax officinalis) or white
   poplar, distinguished by its white blossoms and pale leaves. It
   is common in the Anti-Libanus. Other species of the poplar are
   found in Palestine, such as the white poplar (P. alba) of our
   own country, the black poplar (P. nigra), and the aspen (P.
   tremula). (See {WILLOW}.)
