inserted near the base of the corolla; anther-sacs glabrous, divergent. Capsule linear, flat- 
tened parallel with the thin partition, septifragally dehiscent, the margins of the valves more 
or less thickened. Seeds in 2 unequal rows on both margins of the partition, winged, much 
broader than high, the wing entire, or erose at the end. [Greek, unequal-ranked.]

A. glabrous woody vine, often climbing to the 
height of 40°-60°, the stems sometimes 4’ in diameter, 
exhibiting a conspicuous cross in the transverse sec- 
tion. Leaves petioled, commonly with small, simple, 
stipule-like ones in their axils, 2-foliolate, terminated 
by a branched tendril; leaflets stalked. oblong or 
ovate, entire, acute or acuminate at the apex, cordate 
at the base, pinnately veined. 3-7’ long; cymes nu- 
merous, short-peduneled. 2-5-flowered ; pedicels 1-2’ 
long; calyx membranous; corolla 2’ long. orange and 
puberulent without, yellow within; capsule 5’-7’ long, 
8-10” broad, very flat. each valve longitudinally 
I-nerved; seeds broadly winged laterally, narrowly 
winged above and below, 1” broad. 
In moist woods, Virginia to Florida, Louisiana, Ohio 
and southern Illinois. Quarter vine. April-June. 
2. BIGNONIA L. Sp. Pl. 633. 1753. 
Climbing woody vines with aerial rootlets, with opposite pinnately compound leaves, and 
large showy red or orange flowers, in terminal corymbs. Calyx tubular-campanulate, some- 
what unequally 5-toothed. Corolla-tube elongated, enlarged above the calyx, narrowly cam- 
panulate, the limb slightly 2-lipped. 5-lobed, the lobes spreading. Anther-bearing stamens 4. 
didynamous, ascending under the upper lip; anther-sacs divergent, glabrous or slightly pubes- 
cent. Capsule elongated, slightly compressed at right angles to the partition, loculicidally and 
septicidally dehiscent. Seeds in several rows on each side of the margins of the partition, 
flat, winged, the wing translucent. [Named after the Abbe Bignon, 1662-1743, librarian to 
to Louis NV.] 
Two known species, the following typical one, the other Japanese. The name Tecoma, used 
for this vine in our first edition, belongs properly to a gree of pinnate-leaved yellow-flowered 
shrubs of tropical America, typified by ‘Tecoma stans (L.) H.B.K.

In moist sends and thickets, southern New Jersey and 
Pennsylvania to Florida and Texas, north to Illinois
