ID help

Hi guys,

at the risk of being embarassed... any ideas on an i.d?

got me a little confused....

thought the way the petioles branched fron the stem was a little bit walnut, maybe at a push ash like. (red ash?)

dont think theres enough leaflets for an ailanthus/ tree of heaven.

 

could it be box elder (too many leaflets? - i know theres some variation in morphology)

 

sorry no overall tree pics as took a snippet away with me to identify (forgot my camera, again) but twas aprox 18 ft tall straggly gnarly growth habbit fissured bark.

it didnt have this nuch leaf curl before it sat in a hot cab before getting home:blushing:

 

told the client i wasnt sure what it was - he thought it may begin with B or was it G.

Looks like Golden Rain Tree / Pride of India to me - Koelreuteria paniculata

Now you know it you'll be surprised how common it is. I'm a bit red-faced; I've got one in the garden and didn't have clue what the leaf was.
