Paulowniaceae are a family of flowering plants within the Lamiales. They are a monophyletic family of trees with currently 12 species in 3 genera. They were formerly placed within Scrophulariaceae sensu lato, or as a segregate of the Bignoniaceae.
The Paulowniaceae are now resolved as a distinct separate family consisting of the genera Paulownia, Shiuyinghua and Wightia. They are deciduous trees with large heart shaped leaves and long panicles of white-purple to lavender flowers native to eastern Asia. The most widely distributed and recognized species is Paulownia tomentosa with common names such as Princess tree, Empress tree, Kiri tree, Foxglove tree, and Phoenix tree.
