Koelreuteria paniculata, Laxm. (Sapindus chinensis, Linn.). Figs. 2042-2044. Tree, to 30 ft.: lvs. pinnate or sometimes bipinnate, to 14 in. long; lfts. 7-15, ovate to oblong- ovate, coarsely and irregularly crenate-serrate, at the base often incisely lobed, glabrous above, pubescent on the veins below or nearly glabrous, 1-3 ½ in. long: fls. yellow, ½ in. long, in broad panicles to 18 in. long; filaments hairy: caps, ovate-oblong, gradually narrowed into the pointed apex, 1 ½ -2 in. long. July, Aug.; fr. in Sept. China, Korea, Japan. I.T. 4:147. G.C. III. 2:561. B.R. 330. Gng. 2:353; 8:219. Gn. 32, p. 378. J.H.S. 27, p. 875.
