Paulownia tomentosa
Catalpa ovata, the yellow catalpa or Chinese catalpa (), is a pod-bearing tree native to China. Compared to "C. speciosa", it is much smaller, typically reaching heights between . The inflorescences form bunches of creamy white flowers with distinctly yellow tinging; individual flowers are about wide. They bloom in July and August. The leaves are very similar in shape to those of "Paulownia tomentosa", having three lobes (two are abruptly truncated on either edge, with a third, central, slightly acute, pointed lobe forming the leaf apex), and are darkly green. Fruits are very narrow, foot-long pods.
