what falcate, rounded, divaricate, the sinus with a short stipi- 

 tate process, base much narrowed into the stout, 6 mm long claw, 

 the other four petals subequal, oblong, acuminate, about 4 mm 

 long. Filaments stout, 10 to 12 mm long, below clothed with 

 long hairs. Ovary narrowly oblong, pubescent, somewhat com- 

 pressed, including the pubescent style about 13 mm in length. 

 Pod brown and shining when dry, about 12 cm long and 5.5 cm 

 wide, inequilaterally oblong-obovate, slightly curved along the

A tree, glabrous except the inflorescence. Leaves pinnate, 

 about 20 cm long, the leaflets 6, opposite, firmly chartaceous, 

 shining and brownish-olivaceous on the upper surface, the lower 

 surface pale, oblong to oblong-ovate, 7 to 10 cm long, 4 to 7 cm

 than are the secondary nerves and primary reticulations ; petio-
