The genus Lundia is closely allied to Arrabidea, from which it 
differs in its larger flowers, and always barbated anthers. АП the 
‚ more or less, in a crimson colouring matter, which is 
used аза bini material, being prepared by macerating the leaves in 
water for а long time, allowing them to ferment, after the manner of 
preparing Indigo; a red sediment is thus formed, called Chica, and 
Carajura, by the Caribs and Indians of Guiana, who paint their faces 
and bodies with it. This is prepared chiefly from the Bignonia Chica 
Kth., and В. cuprea D.C., which are both species of Гала. Some 
species of Arrabidea yield a similar dye.

The genus Stizophyllum constitutes а valid group, easily recognised 
by the leaves being marked by hollow pellucidly punctate dots, distin- 
guishable by tlie naked eye, formed of glands imbedded in the pa- 
renchyma. In Pyrostegia, similar imbedded glands exist, but they are 
uot pellucid. In Pithecocteniwn and Haplolophium, the underside of
