Plants of this species were presented to the garden 
at Calcutta, by Colonel Hardwicke, who found them in-

Leaves alternate, unequally pinnate, from six to twelve 
inches long. Leaflets generally five, often subalternate, 
short-petiolleted, entire, broad-lanceolar; from two to 
six inches long, When bruised between the fingers, very

concave, dotted with glands on the outside, much larger —
