KCELREUTERIA, Laxmann. Nat. Ord. Sa- 

 pindacese. Octandria, Monogynia, Linn. Calyx 

 5-parted. Petals mostly 4, with a double 

 appendage on the inside. Style acute- 'at the 

 apex. Fruit bladdery, 1-celled above, 3- 

 celled below, 3-valved. Leaves alternate. 



K. PANICULATA, Lambert. The only known 

 species. Native of China. 



A very pretty looking small tree, deserv- 

 ing 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- 

 gated from layers and root cuttings. In this 

 country it perfects its seed. The specimen 

 at Bartram is below the average, being about 

 fifteen feet.
