Throughout moister INDIA from the Himalayan Terai to Travancore and Tenasserim. 

 CEYLON (Thwaites thinks only planted in). 



A tree, 30-60 ft. ; innovations viscous-hairy. Leaves 12-18 in. ; leaflets 7-9 

 5 by 3 in. ; petiolule hardly T \, in. Calyx 1 in., hairy ; lobes 3-5, very short,' 

 broad. Corolla pale or dark purple, puberulous without, hairy in the throat ; lobes 

 rounded, crisped-crenate. Capsule 18 by f in., slightly rough with tubercles, obscurely 

 4-ribbed, glabrous. Seeds 1 by \ in., deeply notched at the middle. 



4. S. fimbriatum, DC. Prodr. ix. 211; leaflets oblong caudate- 

 acuminate subentire young hairy, panicle very compound viscous hairy, 

 corolla 2 in. lobes fimbriate into laciniae in. long. Kurz For. Fl. ii. 231.

Attaining 80 ft., Kurz. Leaves 1-2 ft. ; leaflets 7-9. 6 by 2 in.; petiolule | in. 

 Corolla pale-lilac. Capsule 12 by in. ; valves somewhat woody, smooth, slightly 

 keeled. Exceedingly like S. suaveolens, except as to the fimbriate corolla; the leaflets 

 are usually narrower. 



5. S. glandulosum, Miq. Fl. Ind. Sat. Suppl. 565 ; glabrous or the 

 innovations puberulous, leaflets large elliptic acute or acuminate entire, 

 panicles subracemose, calyx campanulate subtruncate, corolla 1| in., capsule 

 narrowly linear slender smooth. Spathodea glandulosa, Blume Bijd. 762 ;

Leaflets 3-7, 7 by 3 in. ; petiolule \ in. Panicles 1 foot long; branches short, 

 1-2-fld. Calyx 3 in., glabrate, in fruit often urceolate. Corolla glabrous ; narrow 

 cylindric portion of the tube shorter than the campanulate part ; lobes in. diam., 

 round, subentire, not crisped. Capsule 9- by J in. ; valves thin, tough. Seeds (in- 

 cluding the wings) | by \ in., thinly discoid. 



6. S. ? Wallichii, Clarke ; leaflets large rhomboid acuminate sub- 

 entire mature pubescent, pod linear very long compressed smooth. Spatho- 

 dea stipulata, Wall. Cat. 6518 B and part C. 



IEEAWADDY ESTUABY ; Wallich. 



Leaflets 7, 8 by 4 in., cuneate at the base, subsessile. Corolla not seen. Capsule 

 45 by | in. ; septum spongy, i by ^ in. Seeds sub-4-seriate, 1 by in., subrectan- 

 gular, compressed flat, wings membranous. This imperfectly known tree evidently 

 differs from all the other species, and is marked by D. Don (in Herb. Wallich) as 

 Spathodea Wallichii, D. Don : the septum appears too spongy for Dolichandrone. 

 Seemann has merely noted that the seeds are biserial (i.e. in each cell) without making 

 any guess at the genus. 



Sect. 2. Xylocarpaea. Leaves 2-pinnate. 



7. S. xylocarpum, Wight Ic. t. 1335-6 ; leaflets elliptic acute entire 

 mature glabrous, panicles compound dense pubescent, corolla l$-2 in. white 

 tinged yellow, capsule stout linear cylindric rugged. Bignonia xylocarpa,
