70 ARBORETUM NOTES. 
SAPINDACEZ. 
KOELREUTERIA PANICULATA. 
Loudon, v. 1. 475- 
One tree in the arboretum, flowered for several 
years 1n succession, and ripened fruit in autumn, 
1857, but was blown down soon afterwards. There 
is now a young tree at south east corner of pleasure 
ground, and another in the Vicarage grove.* The 
capsules are very curious and pretty; of a three 
cornered pyramidal shape, much inflated, of a thin 
papery texture, pale green, more or less tinged 
with red, prettily reticulated with veins; the seeds 
(of which only one or two ripen in each of the 
three cells of the capsule), large, nearly spherical, 
smooth and glossy, of a very dark rich brown, 
approaching to black. 
* This last is dead, and the other has been removed to the corner of the 
arboretum, where it has flowered, but sparingly, this year, 1868.
