Spathodea, Fal. Beauv. 



At p. 225 of Vol. L (1803) of this Journal, I stated my reasons 

 for dividing Spathodea; and at p. 332 of Vol. IIL (1865), I gave, 

 from Dr. Welwitsch's specimens, a definition of the genus, illustrated 

 by a plate and characters of the two remaining species. Since then I 

 have completed an examination of all the plants at one time referred 

 to this genus, and now submit a list of them.
