Due to an increasing deficit in wood raw material, great attention has recently been focused worldwide on fast growing species of the genus Paulownia originating from China. It is a fact that the usability of wood species, both as building material, and as raw material in woodprocessing industry, depends on the properties which result from its chemical composition. This paper presents the results of the study of chemical composition of the species Paulownia fortunei Seem. Hemsl. and Paulownia elongata S. Y. Hu, cultivated in the area of Bela Crkva (Serbia), aiming at the assessment of wood quality characteristics of these species. The analysis of chemical composition included the determination of the contents of cellulose, lignin, ash, and the extractive substances in the mixture toluol/ethanol and in hot water.
