PITHECOLOBIUM Mart. 
Pithecolobium apoense Elm. n. sp. 
Erect tree; trunk 10 m. high, nearly 8 dm. thick; main 
branches arising from above the middle, comparatively 
short and crookedly rebranched; wood coarsely grained,

united at their ends, the reticulations quite evident on both 
sides. Inflorescence clustered along the branchlets;. stalks
