accompanied by very few leaves. Calyx pentaphyllous, the 
two external divisions smaller, and resembling bracteas before 
the expansion of the flower. Corolla of five large, spreading, 
emarginate, obovate petals. Stamens numerous, shorter than 
the petals. Anthers round, tapering to a point, incurved 
towards the centre. Filaments not monadelphous at the base. 
Pistil: Germen globular, furrowed, 5-celled: Style long, . 
somewhat filiform, variously bent, as in most of the Cassias: 
Stigma simple. Capsule 5-celled, many-seeded: Seeds some- 
what spiral. 
I have only seen this tree on low ground near the coast. 
It is not very ornamental when in flower, for want of leaves, 
the absence of which gives to the whole tree a bare and 
shabby appearance: though each individual blossom is 
splendid. The flowers first expand in January and February, 
and are succeeded by numerous, large, dark-coloured pods, 
which, contrasting well with the pale shining green and white 
of its foliage, give to the fine green head of this tree a really 
beautiful effect.
