Description
Collected for winter characters. Although a native of China, the Ailanthus has established itself to such an extent among the trees of our woodlands as to appear to be indigenous. In fact not only will the Tree of Heaven or "Stink Tree" as it is commonly called, thrive in the fertile soil of our forests, but appears perfectly at home in the ash heaps, dumps and back yards of our crowded city. Deciduous; bark thin, rather smooth, with prominent lenticels; pith large, continuous, brown; buds solitary, sessile; leaf-scars alternate, heart-or shield-shaped; bundle traces about 8 or 9; stipule-scars lacking. Phenology of specimen: Fruit.
