HAB. Near Quarrel's Pen, Kingston, Liguanea. 



FL. June and November. 



A lowly tree, about 8 feet in height : branches horizontally 

 spreading, flexuose, terete, puberulous towards their extremi- 

 ties. Spines in pairs, at the divisions of the branches, unequal 

 in length, straight. Leaves bipinnate : pinnae 6-paired : leaf- 

 lets 2l-paired, lineari-oblong, subacute, nerved, ciliated and 

 minutely puberulous beneath, about 3 lines in length : common 

 petiole puberulous, bearing a small pedicelled glandule below 

 the lowest pair of pinnse, and one between each of the extreme 

 pairs. Stipules an inch in length, linear, membranaceous, de- 

 ciduous. Peduncle solitary, opposite to a leaf, an inch in 

 length, bearing 15-20 pale greenish slightly fi-agrant flowei's 

 in a head. Calyx tubular, 5-fid. Corolla twice the length of 

 the calyx, 5-fid ; divisions erect. Stamens more than twice 

 the length of the corolla, monadelphous at the base. Ovary 

 glabrous : style length of the stamens. Legume compressed, 

 glabrous, arcuate : seeds several, oval. 



The flowers appear to be polygamous, as only certain trees 

 bear fruit. The blossoms show after the May, as well as the 

 October rains ; but it is only after the latter that I have ob- 

 served the pods to form.
