Order CIV. BIGNONIACEvE 
Trees or climbers (rarely herbs). Leaves opposite, rarely alter¬ 
nate pinnate (or digitate) or simple. Racemes or panicles terminal 
or axillary. Flowers showy, usually large irregular or sub-regular. 
Calyx gamosepalous campanulate or spathaceous or 2- to 5-lobed. 
Corolla gamopetalous, tubular or ventricose, lobes 5, sub-equal. 
Stamens 4 (more rarely 5) filaments filiform; anthers 2-celled, 
cells divergent or parallel. Ovary 1- or 2-celled; style long fili¬ 
form; stigma of 2 flattened ovate lobes. Capsule elongate, flat 
bivalved. Seeds flat with a broad wing. Species about 50, tropics, 
mostly South American. (Prain, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxxiv. (2), 
375). Several ornamental species are cultivated in our gardens, 
notably Spalhodea nilotica, a big tree with scarlet flowers; and 
some South American Bignonias, climbers, and Tecomas. 
Millingtonia hortensis Linn. fil. Given as a doubtful native by 
Prain, a tree with corky bark, tripinnate leaves and long tubular 
white flowers, is certainly not a native. I never saw a plant in
