Name change[edit]

It appears that the (recent?) change from the species name Populus tomentosa to the hybrid name Populus × tomentosa is arbitrary. The phylogenetic relationships for this taxon are still unclear, so why change it from a species name that is more or less accepted, especially without a reference? Perhaps some discussion of its taxonomic status in the article is warranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.161.113.49 (talk) 18:06, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
