198 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
the leaves are marked with crystalline glands, but these stand out in 
relief, and are not pellucid.. Another notable feature is in the 
presence of large stipuloid leaflets at the base of the petioles, as in 
anterpa, and a few other cases. They are all climbing plants, ae 
generally with 3-foliolate leaves, but they are sometimes conjugate, wit 
a simple cirrhus. The inflorescence is in short racemes, which are ter- 
minal in the sinus of the last pair of leaves in all the alary branchlets, 
and which are generally covered with yellow tomentum. The calyx is 
tubular, and considerably inflated in the middle, rather thin in texture, 
with a dentate margin. The corolla is of a rich purple or lilac colour, is 
contracted in its lower part, and then suddenly swollen into a campanu- 
late tube, often ventricose, with a somewhat unequally 5-lobed border; 
the stamens are included and resemble those of Panterpa. The oblong 
ovary is seated in the hollow of a large pulvinate disk. The capsule 18 
longer and narrower than that of Arrabidaa, has very thin flat coria- 
ceous valves, which burst from the base upwards, and remain attached 
to the apex of the dissepiment, which falls off with them, leaving the 2 
filiform portions of the replum affixed to the pedicel, round which the 
calyx, previously detached by a circumscissile line, loosely abides : the 
seeds, attached uniserially on the margins of the dissepiment, are very 
flat, with a dark membranaceous wing. The species are—

Many other species doubtlessly exist, and among them it will pro- 
bably be found, judging from their given characters, that Tabebuia 
‘data, Bth., belong to the above group ;

and solid, and almost as light as cork ; they have all large showy
