  The 
  name 
  Dombeya 
  (Cavanilles, 
  1787) 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  quite 
  generally 
  used 
  to 
  

   designate 
  a 
  genus 
  of 
  sterculiaceous 
  shrubs 
  or 
  small 
  trees, 
  but 
  as 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  was 
  

   originally 
  used 
  (L'Heritier, 
  1784) 
  for 
  a 
  genus 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  family 
  Bignoniaceae, 
  

   for 
  which 
  the 
  name 
  Tourretia 
  (Fougeroux, 
  1787) 
  was 
  later 
  proposed, 
  it 
  should 
  not 
  be 
  

   applied 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  established 
  by 
  Cavanilles. 
  In 
  fact, 
  the 
  latter 
  author 
  on 
  a 
  pre- 
  

   vious 
  page 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  work 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  published 
  Dombeya 
  established 
  the 
  genus 
  

   Assonia 
  with 
  the 
  single 
  species 
  A. 
  populnea 
  (Tertia 
  Dissertatio 
  Botanica, 
  p. 
  120, 
  pi. 
  

   42, 
  fig. 
  1, 
  1787). 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  now 
  recognized 
  as 
  congeneric 
  with 
  the 
  various 
  species 
  

   referred 
  to 
  Cavanilles's 
  Dombeya, 
  and 
  Assonia 
  should 
  therefore 
  be 
  considered 
  the 
  valid 
  

   name 
  for 
  the 
  genus 
  in 
  question. 
  It 
  should 
  be 
  noted 
  that 
  both 
  the 
  names 
  Assonia 
  and 
  

   Dombeya 
  were 
  proposed 
  by 
  Cavanilles 
  in 
  1786 
  (Secunda 
  Dissertatio 
  Botanica, 
  app.), 
  but 
  

   without 
  mention 
  of 
  species. 
  

  

  Cuttings 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  listed 
  were 
  received 
  in 
  1907 
  as 
  "Dombeya 
  spectabilis(?) 
  " 
  

   and 
  were 
  later 
  distributed. 
  Dr. 
  Franceschi 
  of 
  the 
  Montarioso 
  Nursery, 
  Santa 
  Barbara, 
  

   Cal., 
  who 
  received 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  cuttings, 
  called 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  identity 
  of 
  the 
  plant 
  

   with 
  Dombeya 
  cayeuxii 
  Andre.
