Gng. 4:1. - Ornamental tree, with large, feathery foliage; very valu- able for avenues; similar to Ailanthus, and nearly of the same hardiness, but of more regular and dense growth, and withoirtthe disagreeable odor when flowering. Ailan- thus can be easily distin- guished by the few coarse teeth near the base of the Ifts., each bearing a large gland beneath (Fig. 391). serr&ta, Eoyle.

Closely allied to this species is O. Toona, Roxb., from E. India, but Ivs. abruptly pinnate, and Ifts. usually entire. odorilta, Linn.
