Excerpt from Contribution to the Knowledge of Japanese Lac (Ki-Urushi): Thesis Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Bern, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Lacquer trees grow up straight and have moderately symmetrical crowns. The young trees have fine, large, pinnate leaves, which in good soil incessantly turn out to be more than a meter long, and far exceed all other species of Rhus in size and beauty. The leaves are unequally pinnate and have long stems. Before falling off in October they turn out to be yellow or reddish brown. There are from nine to fifteen leaflets, large, oval, pointed and unindented, which have fine short hairs at the under side.
