TABEBUIA (said to be the native name in Brazil). ORD. Bignoniaceae. A genus embracing nearly sixty species of stove, glabrous, pubescent, or villous, erect trees or shrubs, natives of tropical America. Flowers often ample, racemose or cymose; calyx tubular, at first closed, afterwards variously cut at apex; corolla tube elongated, straight or scarcely incurved; limb spreading, sub-bilabiate, of five rounded, nearly equal lobes; stamens four, didynamous. Capsules oblong or elongated, subterete. Leaves opposite or slightly scattered, simple (one-foliolate?), trifoliolate, or often digitately five to seven-foliolate; leaflets petiolulate, entire or toothed. Few of the species are in cultivation. They require precisely similar treatment to that recommended for Tecoma (under which these plants are sometimes included). TABEBUIA aesculifolia (Horse Chestnut-leaved). fl., corolla orange-coloured, sub-campanulate, the three lower lobes marked with yellow spots; panicle terminal, sub-corymbose. June. L. digitate; leaflets seven, obovate-oblong, shortly acuminate, narrowed at base, membranous, pubescent above, canescent-tomentose beneath. Branchlets pubescent. h. 20ft. Mexico. Tree. SYN. Bignonia aesculifolia. TABEBUIA chrysantha (golden-flowered). This is the correct name of the plant described in this work as Bignonia chrysantha. SYN. Tecoma chrysantha. TABEBUIA leucoxyla (white-wooded). This is the correct name of the plant described in this work as Bignonia pallida. SYN. Bignonia leucoxyla (of Velloso). TABEBUIA serratifolia (serrate-leaved). fl., corolla yellow, glabrous, 2in. to 2 1/2in. long, narrowly infundibular; corymbs contracted. l. chartaceous, devoid of scales; leaflets five, 3in. to 5in. long, oblong-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, sub-entire. h.20ft. West Indies, 1822. Tree. SYN. Tecoma serratifolia. TABEBUIA spectabilis (showy).* This is the correct name of the plant described in this work as Bignonia spectabilis. SYN. Tecoma spectabilis (F. d.
