Pterostyrax psilophyllus is a species of deciduous tree belonging to the Styracaceae family, native to East Asia, particularly found in China and Japan. Commonly known as the Epaulette tree, it is admired for its ornamental value, particularly its fragrant white flowers and attractive foliage.

One of the most notable features of Pterostyrax psilophyllus is its flowers. They are small, white, and bell-shaped, arranged in drooping clusters that hang from the branches. These flowers emit a pleasant fragrance, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

After flowering, the tree produces small, round fruits that contain seeds. These fruits are not particularly showy but add some ornamental interest to the tree.
