Radermachia (after J. C. M. Radermacher, 1757-83, a Dutch resident of Java, published a list of Javanese plants). Also spelled Radermachera. Bignoniaceae. Ornamental trees. Plants with large opposite, pinnate or bipinnate lvs. and large fls. in terminal panicles: calyx campanulate, truncate or dentate; corolla campanulate, with 4 or 5 included stamens: caps. linear, loculicidal; septum thick, spongy with the seeds in shallow impressions.— Only two species seem to be in cult.; they can be grown in subtropical regions only, and are prop. by seeds, also by air-layering and by cuttings.—Species 8, in S. E. Asia. R. sinica seems to revel in the light sandy soil of the Florida gardens. Its abundant, large, fern-like, crimped bipinnate foliage and its luxuriant symmetrical growth combine to make it an object of great beauty. It grows to a height of 10 to 12 feet in one season, and if not cut down by a severe freeze it attains a height of 20 feet in two years, provided the soil is made rich by a good fertilizer. Planted out in a conservatory in the North it soon reaches stately dimensions. It is easily raised from cuttings placed in sand. (H. Nehrling.)
