A BEAUTIFUL UGANDA EI.OWKR (SPJTHODM NILOTIC^). 



This Spathodea is a tree in the forests of Uganda, and of the equatorial province of the Egyptian Sudan and the 

 northern part of the Congo basin. An allied form is found in Western Equatorial Africa. The flowers, which grow in 

 bunches, are individually shaped like a Roman lamp; and when the tree is in full blossom it looks as though decorated 



with flaming lamps.
