Legumen in genere polymorphum est, sed nunquam elastiee dehiscit ut in Calliandra, et si 
rectum et planum erassius et magis coriaceum quam in 4lbizzia ; formse tamen varisz, inter se arcte 
eonnexz, ad sectiones definiendas haud sufficiunt. Sequentes potius ex habitu et inflorescentia 
sumpte sunt:

squaliter 2-juge.  Foliola 1-3-juga, eujusve paris subzequalia. Peduneuli solitarii v. faseiculati nee
