All arlMirisciiit yims of about 3 species occurring in Cliiiui and Japau, one o£ which is K. paniculata, a me- dium-sized, irregular, round-headed tree, 25-30 ft. high, with large, compound, irregularly toothed Ivs., yellow fls. in July and large, bladdery fruits in panicles in autumn. It is hardy in Mass., although single limbs are occasionally killed back in winter. It also endures dry weather and hot winds in the West. It is of easy culture, but requires a fairly rich soil. As an ornament it may he used as a single specimen, though not a par- ticularly refined tree, or it may be mixed with other genera in the woody border. It is prop, by seeds, which it ripens early and freely, by layers in autumn, by cuttings of the young branches in spring, and by root-cuttings. panicul&ta, Laxm. [Sapindus Chininsis, Murr.).
