One of the Handsomest Flowering Trees of the Tropics. (Spa- 



THODEA CAMPANULATA BEAUV.. S. P. I. NO. 53983.) 



The Torrid Zone is famous for its flowering trees, some of which are gorgeous in the extreme. 

 Like the royal poinciana, the amherstia, and the browneas, Spathndea campanulata bears 

 flaming-red flowers of striking beauty. It succeeds in southern Florida and is highly es- 

 teemed in Hawaii. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, Cocoanut Grove, Fla., April 15,
