Populus balsamiferaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum2: 1034. 1753.
"Habitat in America septentrionali." RCN: 7465.
Lectotype(Rouleau in Rhodora48: 105. 1946): Herb. Linn. No. 1185.6 ( LINN).
Note:Although some earlier authors (e.g. Farwell in Rhodora21: 101. 1919) rejected this as a nomen ambiguum, Rouleau ( l.c.48: 103-110. 1946) studied the case in some detail and concluded that the name should continue to be used for the Northern Balsam Poplar.
