Very near A. StiTna, from which it differs by its brown bark, darker yellow flowers, 

 calyx not more than half as long, both absolutely and in proportion to the corolla, and 

 ^0% merely downy, but clothed with distinct spreading grey hairs, and by its nar- 

 rower thinner darker brown pod.

Scarcely more than a variety of ^. Catechu, from which it differs by its fewer
