226 REVISION OF THE NATURAL ORDER BIGNONIACEA. 
Spathodea by authors are members of older genera. Macfadyena be- — 
longing to Hubignoniacee, we had under Spathodea the following ge- 
nera :— 
- I. EUBIGNONIACE. m 
Macfadyena, De Cand. (type, Spathodea uncinata, Spr.). Amer. trop. 
II. CATALPEJ. 
* Pleiostictides. 
Dolichandra, Cham. (type, Spathodea ? Dolichandra, Steudl.). Amer. 
trop. 
POPE Pal. (type, Spathodea campanulata, Pal.). Afric. trop. - 
** Monostictides. 
Newbouldia, Seem. (type, Spathodea levis, Palisot). Afric. trop. 
Rademachera, Zoll. (type, Spathodea glandulosa, Bl.). Asia trop. 
III. JACARANDEAX. m. 
Dolichandrone, Fenzl, Seem. (type, Bignonia spathacea, Linn. fil) . 
Asia et Austr. trop. s 
Markhamia, Seem. (type, Spathodea stipulata, Wall.). Asia trop. 
It is my intention to give illustrations of all these genera, to serve as — 
landmarks in arranging the Spathodeas, and also to protect me from " 
kc eat of unnecessarily dismembering an old genus. I begin. A

The only species of this genus known to De Candolle in 1845 was 
M. uncinata, which has never been figured, and is a genuine Eubigno- — 
niacea, with a climbing habit and a spathaceous calyx. A second spe- — 
cies was referred to it by Grisebach in 1858. It is the old Spathodea — 
corymbosa, Vent., of which the fruit was unknown until Duchassaing — 
sent it home from Panama attached to the plant. It is from Du- 
chassaing’s specimens, and a coloured drawing made by Duchassaing — 
on the spot, both kindly lent to me by my friend Professor Grisebach» — 
of Göttingen, that our Plate VIII. has been made. Unfortunately, the - 
materials are not quite complete, for the capsules are far advanced, and — 
have lost the septa, though the seeds have been preserved. a

tieultural Society (May, 1863), has published an interesting Report m — 
the plants collected by Mr. Weir, especially the Bignoniaceæ, where he —
