Leaf differences: The ash tree has pinnately compound leaves, and the leaves are oval and obovate-oblong; the fringed tree leaves are leathery, oblong or elliptical, and the leaf edges are slightly recurved. Flower differences: ash tree panicles, small calyx, bell-shaped, no corolla; fringed tree cymose panicles, white corolla.

1. Differences in leaves

The ash tree has pinnately compound leaves, 15 to 25 cm long, petiole 4 to 6 cm long, rachis straight, leaflets 5 to 7, hard paper. The leaves are oval, obovate-oblong to lanceolate, about 3 to 10 cm long and 2 to 4 cm wide. The apex of the leaf is sharp, the base is obtuse or wedge-shaped, and the leaf margin has neat serrations.

The leaves of the fringe tree are leathery or thinly leathery, oblong, oval or round, about 3 to 12 cm long and 2 to 6.5 cm wide. The apex of the leaves is rounded and blunt, sometimes concave. The incision may have a sharp tip, the base may be rounded or broadly wedge-shaped or wedge-shaped, the leaves may have entire edges or have small serrations, and the leaf edges may be slightly recurved.

2. Differences between flowers< /h2>

The panicles of ash trees are terminal or axillary on the branches, 8 to 10 cm long, and the peduncle is 2 to 4 cm long. The male flowers are densely packed, the calyx is small, bell-shaped, about 1 mm long, and there is no corolla. .

The fringe tree has cymose panicles, 3 to 12 cm long, terminal on the branches. The flowers are 1.2 to 2.5 cm long. The corolla is white, with 4 deep lobes, and the lobes are linear-lanceolate.
