RADERMACHERA. [Commemorates J. Radermacher,<br />
d. 1783, a Dutch patron <strong>of</strong> Indonesian science.] A<br />
genus <strong>of</strong> about 16 species, tropical <strong>Asia</strong>. Certainly a heterogeneous<br />
group, possibly not monophyletic, without<br />
absolutely uniform and decisive features., Radermachera<br />
ignea (sometimes as Mayodendron ignea), R. gigantea is a<br />
notable species group <strong>of</strong> the Philippines, including six<br />
synonyms by either Merrill and Elmer representing island<br />
endemics.<br />
A -- Cultivated Bignoniaceae -- a<br />
A great many Bignoniaceae are cultivated in tropical<br />
<strong>Asia</strong> for their large colorful flowers. Spathodea campanulata<br />
may be the most abundant, but Jacaranda, Tecoma,<br />
and Tabebuia found in almost <strong>of</strong> the larger cities. Most<br />
<strong>of</strong> these species form fruit at least occasionally, and have<br />
the potential to become serious pests. Spathodea is invasive<br />
in Cuba.
