Dombeya (after Joseph Dombey (1742-1795) French botanist and companion of Ruiz and Pavon in Peru and Chile). Syn. Assonia, Astrapaea. Sterculiaceae. Shrubs or small trees of continental Afr., Madagascar and Seychelles, sometimes planted in Fla. and Calif.: lvs. often cordate, palmately nerved, frequently lobed: fls. rosy or white, numerous, in loose axillary or terminal cymes, in umbels, or crowded into dense heads, often very showy; calyx 5-parted, persistent; petals 5: stamens 15-20, 5 sterile, the remainder shorter, united into a tube or cup; ovary 2-5-celled; stigmas 5: fr. a loculicidal caps.—Probably 100 species, many new kinds having been made known recently with the opening of Trop. Afr. The dombeyas are yet little known in this country, although some of them promise well for lawn and park planting far south.<br />
<br />
D. Burgessiae, Gerrard. Lvs. pubescent, cordate, but with 2 deep, wide cuts, and 2 shallow ones besides the basal one: fls. numerous, large, white, rosy at center and along veins; petals rounded. S. Afr. B.M. 5487.—D. calantha. Schum. Shrub, 10-12 ft.: lvs. large (1 ft. across), 3-5-lobed, coarsely toothed, cordate at base, pubescent above and tomentose beneath, with long petioles: fls. rose-colored, 1½ in. across. British Cent. Afr. B.M. 8424.—D. Cayeuxii, Hort., is a hybrid of D. Mastersii and D. Wallichii: fls. beautiful pink in pendulous, many-fld. umbels: lvs. cordate, acute, dentate, with long petioles.—D. Coria, Baill. Tall tree: lvs. cordate or somewhat 3-lobed, 6 in. long and nearly as broad, toothed or crenulate, pubescent beneath: fls. lilac-rose, 2½ in. across. Madagascar. R.H. 1911:84.—D. Davaei, Hort., is a hybrid of D. spectabilis and D. natalensis: fls. rose-colored; also a white-fld. form (var. alba). R.H. 1912, p. 178-9.—D. Mastersii. Hook. Shrub, 4-5 ft. high: lvs. velvety, heart-shaped, serrate: fls. fragrant, white, with thinner veins of rose than in D. Burgessiae; petals acute. Trop. Afr. B.M. 5639.—D. viburniflora, Bojer, has very numerous white fls. with narrower petals than any here described: lvs. cordate, 3-lobed, the cuts not so wide as in D. Burgessiae. Comoro. B.M. 4568. L. H. B.<br />
