Finest fls. in the genus. Brazil. B.M. 5764.
		+
		+	Var. schottii, (A. Schottii, Pohl). Strong-growing, suitable for rafters: young shoots and petioles slightly pubescent, the older sts. warty: lvs. in 3's or 4's, broadly lanceolate and acuminate: corolla large, rich yellow, the throat darker and beautifully striped. Brazil. B.M. 4351. A. magnifica, Hort., is a form of this.
		+
		+	Var. hendersonii (A. Wardleyana, Lebas. A. Hendersonii, Bull). Tall and vigorous, free-flowering, excellent for roofs: glabrous: lvs. large, elliptic-ovate, thick and leathery, in 3's or 4's: fls. large, yellow- orange, with 5 light spots in the throat, the corolla of thick substance, purplish on the exterior when in bud.—The commonest allamanda in this country. Intro. from Guiana by Henderson & Co., St. John's Wood, England, and distributed by Bull about 1865.

		+	Var. grandiflora (A. grandiflora, Hook.). St. thin and wiry: lvs. thin, ovate-lanceolate, pointed, usually in 3's: fls. somewhat smaller than those of var. A. Hendersonii but larger than A. cathartica, lemon- or primrose-yellow. Brazil. —Thrives well when grafted on forms of A. cathartica. Plant rather bushy.
