--><p>Paulownias long have held mythical, spiritual, cultural, and economic significance in China and Japan (Hu S. Y. 1959, 1961). The wood of some species is highly prized in Asia; Paulownia tomentosa is grown in the United States in plantations for wood that is exported to Japan.</p><!--
--><p>The fossil record provides evidence of Paulownia in North America and Europe during the Tertiary (C. J. Smiley 1961).</p>
