1 found this plant on the skirts of the extensive forests of the 

 Organ Mountains ; the branchlets are green, smooth, round, 

 marked with numerous minute whitish specks, woody but fistu- 

 lar, and somewhat flexuosely geniculated at the nodes, which are 

 3 or 3- inches apart. The leaves are about 10 inches long ; the 

 petiole diverges nearly at a right angle from the stem, and is 

 bare for the length of 2 inches ; the leaflets are generally in 

 opposite pairs, about 1 inch apart, though often alternate ; the 

 lowermost are shorter, scarcely more than an inch long, upon 

 tomentose petioles of a line in length ; the upper ones are 3 inches 

 long, 7 lines broad, on a petiole of 1^ line ; and the terminal one
