Koelreuteria paniculata
Koelreuteria paniculata (Goldenrain tree, Pride of India, or China tree) is a species of Koelreuteria native to eastern Asia, in China and Korea.
The leaves are pinnate, 15-40 cm (rarely to 50 cm) long, with 7-15 leaflets 3-8 cm long, with a deeply serrated margin; the larger leaflets at the mid-point of the leaf are sometimes themselves pinnate but the leaves are not consistently fully bipinnate as in the related Koelreuteria bipinnata.
