Named in honor of Lady Audierst. A me(lium-size<l tree, native to nnrma, 

 and considered the most beautiful of all llowerinj^ trees. Its immense condelu- 

 l)rundike sprays of red and yellow flowers drooping from every branch among 

 I lie handsome foliage present an iippearance of astonishing elegance and loveli- 

 ness. It is in Mower during the greater part of the year, but its chief flowering 

 season in Ceylon is from January to April, i. e., the dry season. It produces 

 seed very scantily anywhere, a pod or two occasionally being all that can be 

 obtained, and even these are often infertile. Propagation by layering, tbere- 

 i'ore, has to be adopted. (Adapted from M<ii-mHl(in. llnndhook of Tropical
