Maackia (after Richard Maack, Russian naturalist who explored northeastern Asia; 1825-1886). Leguminosae. Trees grown out-of-doors for their handsome foliage and the panicles of white flowers. Deciduous: winter-buds free, scaly: lvs. alternate, odd-pinnate, with entire, opposite or nearly opposite short-stalked lfts.: fls. white, papilionaceous, in dense upright racemes, usually several in terminal panicles; calyx campanulate, 5-toothed; stamens 10, more or less connate: pod linear-oblong, compressed, with 1-5 seeds. —Two or three species in E. Asia; usually united with Cladrastis, but easily distinguished even without fls. by the free scaly winter-buds and the opposite lfts.; in Cladrastis the winter-buds are naked and inclosed in the base of the petiole and the lfts. are alternate. The maackias are small or medium- sized trees or rarely shrubs with rather large pinnate foliage and upright dense panicles of small white flowers appearing in summer. They are hardy North and not particular as to the soil, but prefer a warm and sunny position to bloom well. Propagation is by seeds sown in spring or by root cuttings like cladrastis. M. Tashiroi, Makino (Cladrastis Tashiroi, Yatabe). Shrub: lfts. 9-15, nearly glabrous, ½ -1 ½ in. long: fls. smaller; standard not emarginate. Japan. Tokyo Bot. Mag. 6:10.
