A climbing slirub ; leaves either trifoliolatcdj or conjugated and furnished with cirrhi. The leaflets are 
not al'n'ays toothed ; in one and the same specimen they are quite entire and dcntated ; the pauiclea are 
sometimes axillary, as well as terminal, and the tomentum is more or less dense,

The flowers and habit of this plant agree \\'ell with the character of Lundia, as laid down by De Can- 
dolle, and I have therefore removed it from Signonia^ a genus to which it had been referred with a doubt. 
The leaves contain a purple colouring matter, which is used by the inhabitants of Teraguas for dyeing 
hammocks. Another species of Lundia with trifoUolated leaves, probably new, was collected at Chagres by 
Pendler (no. 206).

The ovary is covered with small dots, which give it the appearance of th'at of Pithecoetenium ; but the 
fruit is quite smooth and viscous.

This tree is highly esteemed on account of its hard and dui*able timber. In the ruins of the Cathedral 
of Panama Viejo arc beams of its wood, -which have been exposed to the influence of the climate since the 
destruction of the city in 1671, and are still sound. The Guayacan is common about Cruces and Gor'«-ona- 
and in the middle of the dry season (March), when in full blossom, it affords a beautiful spectacle. The 
leaves are deciduous, and, as in several other species of Tecoma, appear.aftcr the flowers.
