Abstract
Abstract Some authorities place the genus Paulownia in the family Bignoniaceae, while others place it in the Scrophulariaceae, a closely related family (4). Paulownia tomentosa Steud., the empress or princess tree, originates in China. According to Hu (2), there appears to be no published record of an accurate introduction date into the United States, although it probably was introduced shortly after 1844. The species received an award of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of London in 1934 (1). Because of its tolerance of poor soils and its rapid growth rate, it has become popular for strip mine reclamation (10). In addition, the wood of Paulownia is considered valuable, especially in Japan (9).
