|discussion=<p>The eastern Asian ornamental species <i>Symplocos paniculata</i> has become locally naturalized in the eastern United States (A. F. Rhoads and T. A. Block 2000; A. T. Whittemore 2003).</p><!--
--><p>Phylogenetic evidence supports <i>Symplocos paniculata</i> as the sole representative of subg. Palura (G. Don) P. W. Fritsch, the first diverging clade within <i>Symplocos</i> (Wang Y. et al. 2004; P. W. Fritsch et al. 2006, 2008). Its internodal inflorescences are unique in the genus.</p>
