{{Inc| Maximilianea. Bixaceae. An unfortunate confusion has arisen in the application of this name. As Maximiliana (1824), it is accepted for a genus of palms (see above); under the slight variation Maximilianea (1819), it is adopted by Warburg in Engler & Prantl, III. 6:312, for the bixaceous genus usually known as Cochlospermum (Kunth, 1822). Different ways out of the difficulty have been suggested. One is to supplant the palm Maximiliana with a new name (Englero-phoenix), and to hold Maximilianea in place of Cochlospermum. Another is to allow the palm name to stand, being well established, and for the bixaceous plants to fall back on Cochlospermum; this conforms better to usage and is the more practicable. (See Engler & Prantl, Nachtr. I. 56; O. Kuntze, Rev. Gen. PI. I. 44.) Still another is to allow both the Maximilian genera to stand, seeing that they are differently spelled; but they are so near alike that conflict would result. Another alternative is to revise the name Wittelsbachia (1824) for Cochlospermum, seeing that the latter is antedated by the Cochlospermum of Lagasca (1818); but this way of escape need not concern us here. Cochlospermum is retained in the "nomina conservanda" of the Vienna Code. Recent authorities make the genus the type of the family Cochlospermaceae. Maximilianea, or Cochlospermum, comprises about 12—15 trees, shrubs and subshrubs in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres, little known as horticultural subjects: lvs. alternate, digitate or palmately parted: fls. large and showy, yellow, pedicelled, in fascicles, racemes or panicles from the upper axils or terminal, perfect; sepals 5, unequal, imbricate; petals 5, large; stamens very many, free, with long anthers: ovary 1-celled, with 3-5 placentae, the style undivided and slender: caps. 3-5-valved, with numerous seeds. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
