Stadmannia (named for Stadmann, a German botanist); also erroneously spelled Stadtmannia. Sapindaceae. Branched pustulate trees, apparently very rarely cult.: lvs. alternate, without stipules, abruptly pinnate; lfts. 3-6 pairs, opposite and alternate, oblong, obtuse: panicles axillary, branched: fls. small, pedicelled, polygamo-dioecious; calyx subspherical, 5-toothed; petals none; disk thick, raised and lobed; stamens 8; ovary oblong, 3-celled: berry dry, oblong-spherical, indehiscent.—The only species of this genus that is well known is a tropical tree from the Bourbon Isls., there known as bois de fer or ironwood. This is a large tree with hard, heavy reddish wood, once frequent in the primeval forests of Mauritius but now scarce. It is not known to be in cult. in Amer. Nine other names appear in Index Kewensis, apparently all Brazilian species, but one of them is a bare name and the others were first described in the early 1860's in Linden's catalogue. S. amabilis, Hort., is offered in the trade, but is not known botanically: it is said to be an imposing decorative plant for warmhouse cult. and to require the same treatment as gardenias. CH
