Question
Hello, I cannot seem to identify this plant. It was found growing along the upper portions of a stream bank near Boston. The leaves are shiny and have pink/reddish veins. Unfortunately I only took the one picture but hope it's enough. Thank you very much for any help you can provide!
Answer
Dear Driftwood, you've photographed the new growth of Populus deltoides (eastern cottonwood), a species that is native to North America, but introduced in eastern Massachusetts.
