Catalpa bungei, commonly known as Manchurian catalpa, is a species of catalpa native to China. The specific epithet honors the botanist Alexander Bunge, who collected the specimens that Carl Anton von Meyer later described. [3] The flowers are arranged in a corymb and are densely spotted with pink. It is cultivated in China, along with C. ovata , for its wood, [4] which is also used for coffins, [5] ancestral tablets, [6] and oars. [7] It also used as an ornamental tree. [3]
