    I know that it smells awful if you rub the leaves. :( I remember getting them in the flowershop, but never saw a name on them, I don't think.

    edited later.
    I remember now.... It's called a CHINA DOLL plant.

    Radermachera sinica is the scientific name. Sorry it took me so long to think of it. Obviously I knew it from long, long ago. it just popped into my head as I was trying to google the leaf characteristics.

    You are welcome. I knew I had seen it before, but it took me a while to remember the name. glad I could help.
