Being unable to discover any specific distinction between Tecoma 
sorbifolia and T. mollis, Y have been compelled to unite them. The 
hairy covering of the under side of the leaflets is more or less dense, 
apparently according to the elevation and locality in which the speci- 
mens have grown. This species is confined to the higher mountains, 
never occurring on the coast, where its place seems to be taken by 
S. stans, and it has not been found in the Isthmus of Panama, where 
there are no high mountains, though it has an extensive geographical 
range north and south of that country. It is the most robust, and 
perhaps the finest species of the genus, some of the leaflets measuring 
5 inches in length and 14 in breadth, though generally they are not 
so large.
