A peculiar species, with stout branchlets 5 lines thick, and axils 4-2 in. apart; leaves

ferous, the flowers having fallen off: the rachis is stout, suberect, angulated, with alter- 
nate nodose axils 2—4 lines apart, at first little prominent, but in fruit the nodes are thick 
and prominent ; the fruit, sessile upon them, is, in the immature state, 1 in. long, 4 lines 
broad.
