Koelreutaria paniculata, Goldenrain Tree

...of the family Sapindaceae.


I was having a hard time remembering this one and how to spell it. I thought if I put it on the blog that would help me out. You might also notice the funny fortune cookie-like things on this plant. They are called bracts. They are papery and house the little black berry fruits inside.

Greg helps me remember this by singing, "If you like paniculatas, and getting caught in the rain.." (That's the song they play on Shrek when it shows the princess.)
Wish me luck on the quiz tomorrow!
