deciduous tree native to China, grows to 5-15m and is found in sunny
places such as riverbanks. Leaves are alternate or in a whorl of
three; blades are 10-25cm long, 7-20cm wide, broadly ovate,
shallowly cleft in three to five, with margins entire, tips shortly
pointed, and bases cordate. Surfaces with short hairs on the veins
and the backsides have thick velvety coats. Petioles are long,
5-20cm long. Branch tips emerge 10-25cm-long panicles, which set
many yellow-white flowers. Bloom time: June-July. |
