An arborescent genus of about 3 species occurring in China and Japan, one of 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 be 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. paniculata, Laxm. {Saplndiis Chim'nsis, Murr.).

Lvs. deciduous, alternate, 12 in. long, unequally pinnate, without stipules; Ifts. ovate, largely and Irregularly dentate, glabrous, in 4—7 pairs, opposite and alternate: fls. yellow, 14 in. long, in large, upright, terminal, many-fld. panicles; sepals 5; petals 3-4, hy- pogynous, irregular, each claw with a scale-like appen- dage, the disk enlarging before each petal; stamens 5-8: ovary oblong, pubescent, becoming a 3-lobed, 3-celled bladdery, inflated, triangular pod, lK-2 in. long, usually red, becoming brown, borne in large, erect panicles.
