of the plant, in an airy greenhouse, is March and April, 

 after which it produces pods tolerably copiously. 



Descr. Stem five to seven feet high in our specimens : 

 the branches chiefly at the top, gracefully drooping, angled. 

 Phyllodia five to six inches long, linear-lanceolate, elon- 

 gate, falcate, moderately thin, coming to a very acute, 

 mucronate point at the apex ; at the base gradually atten- 

 uated, but sessile ; dark full green, not in the least glau- 

 cous, with no apparent gland, furnished with an evident 

 costa, and some oblique veins, and, besides, obscurely 

 reticulated. Heads of flowers rather large, deep full yellow, 

 arranged in very long racemes, often much exceeding the 

 leaves. Pedicels twice as long as the heads. Flowers 

 numerous, fifteen to twenty in a head.
