June. China. 1891, p. 574-75, and 1875, p. 87. 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 without the disagreeable odor when flowering. Ailan-. be ily di guished by the few coarse teeth near the base of the lfts., each bearing a large gland beneath (Fig. 391). serrita, Royle. Tree, to 70 ft.: Ivs. usually odd-pin- uats, 15-20 in. long; lfts. , ovate-lanceolate or ovate-acuminate, irregularly serrate, glaucous beneath: 391.

Closely allied to this species is C. Toona, Roxb., from E. India, but Ivs. abruptly pinnate, and lfts. usually entire. odorita, Linn.
