Catalpa × Erubescens
''Catalpa'' (, ), commonly also called catawba, is a genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Bignoniaceae, native plant, native to warm temperateness, temperate and subtropical regions of North America, the Caribbean, and East Asia. Description Most ''Catalpa'' are deciduous trees; they typically grow to tall, with branches spreading to a diameter of about . They are fast growers and a 10-year-old sapling may stand about tall. They have characteristic large, heart-shaped leaves, which in some species are three-lobed. The appearance of the leaves sometimes causes confusion with species such as the unrelated tung tree (''Vernicia fordii'') and ''Paulownia tomentosa''. ''Catalpa'' species bear broad panicles of showy flowers, generally in summer. The flower colour generally is white to yellow. In late summer or autumn the fruit appear; they are siliques about long, full of small flat seeds, each with two thin wings to aid in wind dispersal. The large leaves an ...

Catalpa Speciosa
''Catalpa speciosa'', commonly known as the northern catalpa, hardy catalpa, western catalpa, cigar tree or catawba, is a species of ''Catalpa'' native to the midwestern United States. The Latin specific epithet ''speciosa'' means "showy". Description ''Catalpa speciosa'' is a medium-sized, deciduous tree growing to tall and wide. It has a trunk up to in diameter, with brown to gray flaky bark. The leaves are deciduous, opposite (or whorled), large, heart shaped, long and broad, pointed at the tip and softly hairy beneath. The leaves generally do not color in autumn before falling; instead, they either fall abruptly after the first hard freeze, or turn a slightly yellow-brown before dropping off. The catalpa tree is the last tree to grow leaves in the spring. The winter twigs of northern catalpa are like those of few other trees, having sunken leaf scars that resemble suction cups. Their whorled arrangement (three scars per node) around the twigs is another diagnostic. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Catalpa Bungei
''Catalpa bungei'', commonly known as Manchurian catalpa, is a species of catalpa native to China. The specific epithet honors the botanist Alexander Bunge, who collected the specimens that Carl Anton von Meyer later described. The flowers are arranged in a corymb and are densely spotted with pink. It is cultivated in China, along with '' C. ovata'', for its wood, which is also used for coffins, ancestral tablets, and oars An oar is an implement used for water-borne propulsion. Oars have a flat blade at one end. Rowers grasp the oar at the other end. The difference between oars and paddles is that oars are used exclusively for rowing.
