Abstract
A highly ornamental sort of the tree of heaven {Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, fam. Simaroubaceae) with bright creamy-white variegation of leaves is found among its neglected thicket in Simferopol in 2017. Three-year male creeping-rooted plant with vegetative mutation on it has been observed by authors during additional two years and is described as a new cultivar ‘Albina’ in this paper. This cultivar differs clearly from all known ornamental forms and cultivars of the species with its characters of leaf coloration. It is difficult to evaluate the number of cultivars of 4. altissima because its ornamental forms are scantily studied in nomenclatural and taxonomical sense. Highly likely, this is only third cultivar of the species.
