Cedrela

Cedrela - C. sinensis is a Chinese tree not yet common in gardens. The largest trees I have seen are about 30 feet high. The tree is chiefly noteworthy for the large pinnate leaves it bears. It has small yellowish flowers arranged in great numbers in pendent clusters said to be agreeably scented. It promises to be a graceful lawn tree, but has not been long enough in the country yet to speak with certainty of its hardiness, although we see it flourishing in unlikely places.

Cedronella (Balm of Gilead) is a distinct, half-bushy herb of the Sage order, C. triphylla having leaves with a pungent but grateful odour, in England 2 1/2 to 4 feet high, varying much according to soil, and not quite hardy, but living out of doors most winters if in dry free soil and planted against walls.
