Paulowniaceae are a family of flowering plants within the Lamiales. [2] They are a monophyletic and monogeneric family of trees with currently 7 confirmed species. [3] They were formerly placed within Scrophulariaceae sensu lato, [4] or as a segregate of the Bignoniaceae.
Paulownia tomentosa is cultivated as an ornamental tree in parks and gardens. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [18] [19] Because of its tolerance and flexibility, Paulownia functions ecologically as a pioneer plant. Its nitrogen-rich leaves provide good fodder and its roots prevent soil erosion.
Paulownia tomentosa. Paulownia is a genus of angiosperm trees, and one of the fastest-growing trees in the world.

The name derives from the Muscogee name for the tree, "kutuhlpa" meaning "winged head" and is unrelated to the name of the Catawba people. [6] [7] The spellings "Catalpa" and "Catalpah" were used by Mark Catesby between 1729 and 1732, and Carl Linnaeus published the tree's name as Bignonia catalpa in 1753.
