^10 KEVISION OF THE NATURAL OUDER RlGNONIACEiE. 



possesses n good deal of iuterost, affording as it does, one other instance 

 of the true alpine flora which just reaches the north-west of Ireland, and 

 is found in no other part of the island. Mr. AVatson, in ' Cybele Britan- 

 nica,' table of summary of distribution, p. 212, quotes S. Lapponum and 

 >S'. Myrsiniies as natives of Ireland, which, I fear, are mistakes ; cer- 

 tainly, no specimens of these plants exist in any known Irish her- 

 baria, nor have I ever heard it stated on good authority that they have 

 been found in Ireland. 1 have many times looked on the shores of 

 Lough Ncagh, where the late Mr. Templeton is supposed to have found 

 S. Stiiartiaua, without seeing anything of it. S.fusca and most of its 

 varieties abound there, and also on the mountains near Belfast. 



REVISION OF THE NATUEAL ORDER BIGNONIACEiE.

I have akeady stated, Journ. of Bot. 1863, p. 225, that the original 

 two species of Spathodea represented different generic types, and why 

 I retain the name of Spathodea, not for S. Icevis, but S. campamilata, 

 making S. Icevis the type of a new genus, far removed from Spathodea 

 as restricted by me.
