At first sight Parry and Palmer's specimens look very different from the typical _ 
specimens collected by Wright, having comparatively stout, straight branches and pods 
at least twice as broad; but in other respects they agree. Moreover the pods in the 
typical specimens have all been interrupted in their growth by the larve of some 
insect, and have probably not attained their normal size.
