In a note accompanying Dr. Henry's specimens he states that 

 this is a valuable timber tree, fifty feet high, with a trunk some- 

 times twelve feet in girth. He sends pods, which are exactly 

 like those of Circis Siliquastrum. C. canadensis has less deeply 

 cordate leaves and less acuminate pods, but there are no other 

 obvious differences. It is noteworthy that the pod of the 

 Californian C. occidentalis closely resembles that of the Afghan 

 C. Oriffithii.
