A small tree, with the bark of the stem split into many 
deep rugged fissures like that of an elm, and with,a com- 
pact spreading head. It is in some parts spiny, as represented 
in the accompanying drawing ; sometimes it Is unarmed. 
That it is a mere variety of-C. flava, must be evident to

The two supposed species are 3n fact undistinguishable in 
general appearance. | - ilis 1
