Pterostyrax corymbosa / Asagara アサガラ

Pterostyrax corymbosa is a deciduous small tree with gray-brown bark, many of which inhabit somewhat damp locations in deciduous forests in mountainous regions, growing to 6-10m in height. Leaves with 1.5-2.5cm-long petioles are alternate, broad-oblong, or obovate, with tips shortly pointed, bases somewhat circular, margins with shallow serrations bending inward, and the ends having glandular protrusions. Flowers, white, are set in compound racemes of 8-12cm in length; corollas, about 1cm long, are deeply cut into five lobes, with fine stellate hairs on their surfaces. Stamens are 10 in number, longer than the corollas, and filaments are inches on the inside of the lower half. Stigmas are longer than the stamens, with many long hairs on the styles. Bloom time: May-June.
