TREE AND SHRUBSLeaf it to me

PHOTO – plant nomenclature. Who knows what genus/species – I’ve forgotten the name(s)! Continued –?

Specimen in question is 3′ shrub in a #5 plastic pot. It’s a broadleafed deciduous shrub. PALMATE leaves are 3″ x 3″ (incl. petiole) and opposite. ENTIRE leaf margins. Surface of leaf is ‘slightly’ tomentose (sericeous?) – very silky to the touch.
Infloresence appears now (mid summer.) ‘Flowers’ are terminal, complete, perfect, thyrse, indeterminate and ‘resemble lilacs’ in 3″ clusters of small 1/4″ (lilac colored) ‘compact’ flowers.
No discernable aroma to infloresence or bruised foliage.
Bees love it. Bark light brown and fairly smooth to touch. Presents vibrant yellow foliage in fall that lasts for weeks. Infloresece persistant. No pests or diseases in over 3 years.
Tried to key it out to no avail. Thanks.
