Having found it necessary to deprive our countryman the late Sir 
Thomas Millington of the genus assigned to his memory by the 
younger Linneus, (Supl. 45 and 201) because, on finding the ripe - 
seed vessel of the only species thereof, I ascertained it to be a true 
Bignonia as I suspected; I have therefore restored that re- 
spectable name to the system, under a different dress, by giving it to 
the two trees which at present constitute this strongly marked fa- 
mily, and, which I am inclined to think, have not, until now, been © 
described.*
