This species climbs the loftiest trees ; and the peduuclcs, which are occasionally fourteen feet long, 
present a very curious appearance. In common with the following species, it is termed by the inhabi- 
tants Ojo del veuado, because the seeds, which are used for making ink, bear some resemblance to the 
eyes of a deer.

Erythrina from Chagres. - . '
