'''Yellow Buckeye''' (''Aesculus Octandra'', [[synonymy|syn.]] ''A. octandra'') is a species of [[Aesculus|buckeye]] native to the [[Ohio Valley]] and [[Appalachian Mountains]] of the [[Eastern United States]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://esp.cr.usgs.gov/data/atlas/little/aescocta.pdf | title = Aesculus Octandra Range Map | accessdate = 2008-03-06 | publisher = [[United States Geological Survey]]}}</ref> It is a medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 20–47 m tall. It grows in mesophytic forest or floodplains, generally in acid to circumneutral soil. The [[leaf|leaves]] are palmately compound with five (rarely seven) leaflets, 10–25 cm long and broad. The [[flower]]s are produced in [[panicle]]s in spring, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2–3 cm long with the stamens shorter than the petals (unlike the related [[Ohio Buckeye]], where the stamens are longer than the petals). The twigs have a faintly rank odor, but much less so than the Ohio buckeye, ''[[Aesculus glabra]]''. The [[fruit]] is a smooth (spineless), round or oblong capsule 5–7 cm diameter, containing 1-3 [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-like [[seed]]s, 2.5-3.5 cm diameter, brown with a whitish basal scar. The fruit of the Yellow Buckeye is poisonous to humans but can be made edible through a leaching process. Yellow Buckeye is an attractive [[ornamental plant|ornamental tree]] suitable for [[park]]s and large [[garden]]s. {{Inc| Aesculus flava, Marsh. (A. octandra, Ait. A. lutea, Wang. Pavia lutea, Poir.). SWEET BUCKEYE. Large tree, 4O- 90 ft.: lfts. 5, oblong-obovate or elliptical, cuneate, equally serrate, smooth or pubescent beneath : panicles 4-6 in. long; petals yellow, very unequal, their claws longer than the calyx; stamens 7, shorter than the petals: fr. smooth.
