The reason winch induced me to add another figure, to those already 
existing, of this most beautiful Bignoniaceous tree, was to show the 
fruit, which is unknown to most botanists. In previous papers on this 
plantj I pointed out that the fruit, -which Palisot figured with this 
species, belonged to Kigelia^ and that, owiug to th's confusion, the 
true character and relationship of Spatltodea were entirely misunder- 
stood. Two species, belonging to two distinct generic types, were re- 
ferred by Palisot to his SpatJiodea, As explained elsewhere (Journ. of 
Bot. 1863, p. 225), I decided to retain the name SpaUiodea for 
S. camjpannlaia^ and make the second species {S. l^evls) the type of the 
new genus Newhouldla. Hitherto only one species of SpatJiodea^ as 
restricted by me, was known ; but we are indebted to Captains Speke 
and Grant^s Expedition to the sources of the Nile, for a second species, 
the flowers of which are quite equal in size to S. campamilata. The 
two may thus be distinguished :
