Longer Stamens. Aesculus glabra, Horse Chestnut, Westerpark, Amsterdam, The Netherland.

            As I understand it the flowers of Aesculus glabra ('Smooth' Chestnut) differ from those of the Aesculus flava ('Yellow' Chestnut by the length of their stamens. Those of Glabra are longer than their petals; Flava's shorter.
This pretty flowering Glabra is in the Westerpark in Amsterdam. In North America, Indigenous peoples apparently extracted tannic acid from these Chestnut fruits and used it to cure leather. As far as I know  these trees are purely ornamental in The Netherlands.
