K. PANICULATA, Lambert. The only known 

 species. Native of China. 



A very pretty looking small tree, deserv- 

 img a place in every garden for its numerous 

 large panicles of yellow flowers, with which 

 the tree is covered in July and August. A 

 cool deep loam, in a situation partially shaded, 

 is well suited to it. In England, it is propa

 country it perfects its seed. The specimen 

 at Bartram is below the average, being about 

 fifteen feet.
