'''''Koelreuteria''''' is a genus of three species in the family [[Sapindaceae]], native to southern and eastern [[Asia]].
They are medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]]s growing to 10-20 m tall, with spirally arranged pinnate or bipinnate [[leaf|leaves]]. The [[flower]]s are small and yellow, produced in large branched [[panicle]]s 20-50 cm long. The [[fruit]] is a three-lobed inflated papery [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] 3-6 cm long, containing several hard [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-like [[seed]]s 5-10 mm diameter.
==Uses==
Koelreuteria trees are commonly used as focal points in landscape design in regions where they thrive.
In some areas, notably parts of eastern [[North America]], they have become [[invasive species]].
