An ornamental deciduous tree from China with large alternate odd-pinnate lvs., deciduous stipules and with small yellow fragrant fls. in axillary panicles: calyx tubular-campanulate, 5-lobed; petals 5, spatulate-obovate, little longer than the calyx; stamens 5, exserted; style slender, longer than stamens; ovary superior: fr. a 1-seeded ovoid drupe. It is as yet little known in cult., but probably can be grown successfully in the S. only; it may be recommended chiefly for its bold pinnate foliage and the honey-scented fls.
