Thanks for introducing this nice tree. Dear Kenneth, in such situations of confusion (and The Plant List has many), I fall back upon GRIN a very reputed databae, and if latter has been updated recently (after December 2010 when The Plant List was uploaded), I go with GRIN. The GRIN Record has been updated on 17 May, 2011 and considers Lysiphyllum hookeri as accepted name:
*Bauhinia hookeri* F. Muell. (=*Lysiphyllum hookeri (F. Muell.)
