Pterostyrax (Greek, pteron, wing; alluding to the winged or ribbed fruit, by which it is distinguished from the allied genus Styrax). Styracaceae. Ornamental woody plants grown chiefly for their drooping panicles of white flowers. Deciduous trees or shrubs, stellate-pubescent: lvs. alternate, denticulate : fls. in large panicles, terminal on short branchlets; calyx 5-toothed; corolla 5-parted almost to the base; stamens 10, somewhat longer than the corolla and slightly exceeded by the slender style; ovary 3-celled: fr. a ribbed or winged 1-2-seeded nut. —Three species in China and Japan. Sometimes united with Halesia, from which it is distinguished chiefly by the panicled drooping infl. and the 5-merous fls. These are handsome trees or shrubs with rather large light green leaves and white flowers in showy pendulous panicles, followed by small rather inconspicuous fruits. They are only precariously hardy in sheltered positions as far north as Massachusetts. In June they are very attractive, with their graceful drooping panicles of numerous deutzia-like fragrant flowers. They thrive best in a moderately moist sandy loam and are propagated by seeds or layers and also by greenwood cuttings under glass. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
