Common western aspen

The common western aspen (Populus grandidentata), also known as the common aspen, red-leaved aspen, yellow-leaved aspen, and many other names that vary from region, is a deciduous tree native to northwestern Parania. 
== Distribution ==
Common western aspens' range consists of mainland northwestern Parania which includes parts of Apelchem, Parlinn, Vindborg, Elsenord, and Cheskachena. Isolated populations are found in Silegre, Podochovia, and the Isle of Chark (Where it is an invasive species). 
== Ecology ==
The species is known to tolerate a variety of types of soils, though it prefers sands. The aspen thrives in sunlight and cannot tolerate shaded areas. The common western aspens wild and indigenous populations in Apelchem and Parlinn are declining and coming across one in the wild is extremely rare with Elsenord and Vindborg's Oh Mah river valley being one of the only places in the world where an estimated 20,000 common western aspens line up the rolling hills that the river runs between.
