Bourbon. Leaves impari-pinnate, sometimes with 2-3 or 1 
pair of leaflets, the odd leaflet is always sessile. C. pinnata, 
Lam. dict. 2. p. 132. ill. t. 256. when the leaves are pinnate. 
C. triphylla, Lam. dict. 2. p. 132. when the leaves are trifoliate. 
Leaflets oblong, entire, somewhat scabrous above, pale tomen- 
tose beneath, with yellow veins. Flowers panicled, see Bory. 
voy. 2. p. 324. Ruizia aurea, Hortul. ~ 
Bourbon Cossignia. Clt. 1811. Tree 20 feet. 
Cult. This tree is known in our gardens by the name of 
Ruizia aúrea. It is generally admired on account of the orange- 
coloured nerves of the leaves, which give it an agreeable ap- 
pearance. It will thrive in a mixture of loam and peat, or a 
light, loamy soil; and ripe cuttings will strike root in sand 
under a hand-glass, in a moist heat.
