EEVISION OF THE NATURAL ORDER BIGNONIACE^. 

 By Beethold Seemann, Ph.D., E.L.S., etc. 



{Continued from p. 149.) 

 Newbouldia, Seem. 



I have already stated, Journ. of Bot. 1863, p. 235, that the original 

 two species of SpcUhodea represented different generic types, and why 

 I retain the name of Spathodea, not for S. l^evis, but S. campanulaia, 

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

 as restricted by me.
