Paulownia fortunei commonly called the dragontree, dragon tree or Fortune's empress tree, is a deciduous tree in the family Paulowniaceae, native to southeastern China (including Taiwan), Laos and Vietnam. It is an extremely fast-growing tree, due to its use of C₄ carbon fixation,[3] and is planted for timber harvesting. It appears to be nowhere near as dangerously invasive as Paulownia tomentosa.^{[citation needed]}
