Cladrastis (Greek, brittle branch). Virgilia of gardens. Leguminosae. Yellow-wood. Trees grown chiefly for their large panicles of white flowers and for their handsome foliage. Deciduous: winter-buds naked, several superposed and concealed during the summer in the enlarged base of the petiole: lvs. alternate, odd-pinnate, with few rather large entire short-stalked Ifta.: fls. in long, usually panicled racemes, white, papilionaceous; calyx campanulate, 5-toothed; stamens 10. nearly free: pod narrow-oblong, compressed, 3-6-seeded, with thin membranous valves.—Four species in N. Amer. and E. Asia. Hardy ornamental trees of medium size, with showy fls. and handsome foliage, turning bright yellow in fall. They thrive in almost any soil. Prop. by seeds, sown in spring, or by root cuttings, dug up in fall and kept in sand or moss, moderately moist and cool, until spring. CH
