Staphylea trifolia, the American bladdernut,^[2] is native to eastern North America, from southern Ontario and southwestern Quebec west to Nebraska and Arkansas, and south to Florida. It is sometimes used as an ornamental plant.

It is a medium-sized shrub growing to 3.5 m (11 ft) tall.^[3] Its growth rate is medium to fast.^{[citation needed]} The leaves are opposite and divided into three leaflets, each leaflet 4.5–13 cm (2–5 in) long^[4] and 5 cm (2 in) broad, with a serrated margin.^[3] The leaves are bright green in the spring, turning dark green in the summer. S. trifolia produces pendant white flowers in spring, which mature into bladder-like, teardrop-shaped fruits that contain 1-3 brown popcorn-like seeds.^[3] Some sources consider these "nuts" to be edible. ^[5]
