SUBTRIBE II.—PARKIEJE. 
Calyx and corolla with a more or less imbricative zstivation. Petals distinct, 
equal (with the stamens perigynous), or nearly so (with the stamens hypogynous 
and monadelphous). S 
LXXIII. PARKIA. R. Brown. 
Flowers polygamous. Calyx tubular; the limb bilabiate ; upper lip 2- 
cleft, lower 3-cleft: sestivation imbricative. Petals 5, nearly equal, the up- 
per one a little broader than the others: sestivation connivent-imbricative. 
Stamens 10, hypogynous, monadelphous. Legume many-seeded, 2-valved, 
with a farinaceous pulp around and between the seeds.—U narmed trees. 
Leaves bipinnated: pinne and leaflets many pairs. Stipules minute. Spikes 
axillary, peduncled, club-shaped: flowers on the lower half of the rachis 
usually male or neuter. 
* 865. (1) P. biglandulosa (W. & A.:) pinnæ 20-40 pair, the upper ones 
alternate ; leaflets 60—100 pair, linear, obtuse, glabrous on both sides, slightly 
villous along the margin, approximated and somewhat imbricated: petiole 
with two collateral convex oblong glands near the base ; common rachis 
hoary with whitish tomentum, with a gland between each of the last 94 
pairs of pinnæ ; partial rachis without glands.— Wight! cat. n. 559.—Mimosa 
grandiflora, herb. Madr. !—M. pedunculata, Roxb. ? fl. Ind. 2. p. 551. 
Our specimens were cultivated in the Missionary Garden. We refer here 
Mim. pedunculata of Roxburgh, on account of there being two glands there 
also at the base of the petiole: but we do so with doubt, because the glands 
are said to be umbilicate. P. Rowburghii, G. Don in Mill. dict. 2. p. 397 
(P. Brunonis, Graham in Wall. L. n. 5288, or Mim. biglobosa, Roxb.) differs 
by ae but one gland at the base of the petiole, and fewer pinne and 
eattets. 
TRIBE IIIL.—CJXESALPINE&. R. Brown. 
Corolla more or less irregular, sometimes papilionaceous, sometimes 
somewhat rosaceous, sometimes wanting : zestivation irregularly imbri- 
cative, never valvular. Stamens more or less unequal, always peri- 
gynous ; filaments usually distinct, rarely united. Embryo straight, 
with the plumula generally conspicuous and large. 
SUBTRIBE L—GEOFFREX. DC.

pilionaceous, resupinate. Stamens 10, inserted with the petals on the mouth 
of the calyx, monadelphous: the sheath fleshy, with a groove on its upper 
side, but not split. Ovary shortly stalked at the very base of the calyx ; the 
stalk soon elongating. Style filiform. Stigma bearded on the inner side.
