__NOTOC__{{Plantbox

'''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&nbsp;cm long and broad. The [[flower]]s are produced in [[panicle]]s in spring, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2–3&nbsp;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&nbsp;cm diameter, containing 1-3 [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-like [[seed]]s, 2.5-3.5&nbsp;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.
