This is a small tiee, ten feet high, with a whitish bark, and a hard wood ; branches 

 ferruginous- tomentose; leaflets smooth on both sides, and rigid ; panicles terminating, 

 bianched; corol ; a large, blue, smelling sweet; legume ovate, villose, woody, .in 

 which there is only one large spherieal scarlet seed, with a black spot. Native of Ja- 

 maica and other islands of the West Indies. Sw, Browne says he saw this tree at 

 Montsorrat, where it rose by a moderate trunk, and spread much towards the top, 

 ,that the seeds were pretty large, and well marked with a proportioned large spot.

 Leaves pinnate ; leaflets numerous, roundish, hoary, sub-tomentose. 

 "This is a shrub with a round, hoary, .pubescent, stem, and round, spreading, sub* 

 toruentose, branches; leaves on alternate, long, spreading, round, hoary, petioles, 

 thickened at the base ; leaflets opposite, mostly six-paired, with an odd one, entire, 

 flat, hoary, white. tomentose beneath, on short round petioles. Flowers in a sort of 

 spike; peduncle terminating, erect, a foot long, simple, round, many-flowered; 

 flowersclo.se, biggish, peduncled, yellow, calyx bluntly five-toothed, with the three 

 lower teeth longer, hoary, pale green ; germ hoary ; legume pedicelled, very long, 

 jiX first filiform, then swelling out and jointed ; seeds roundish. Sw. Browne calls it 

 <the shrubby goat-rue, with round ash-coloured leaves, which grows chiefly in the low- 

 lauds near the sea, and rises generally to the height of six or seven feet. It is of a dark 

 ash-colour, and bears many long pods of a roundish cylindric form, but swelling about 

 the seeds. I doubt whether the leaves of this plant would not make good indigo.-
