Plant about 7 feet high, glabrous. Leaves equally pinnate, the coni- 

 iftoiiB petiole ending in a bristle; leaflets sprinkled with a few bairs near 

 ^BE- base* Racemes 4 — 8 flowered. Calyx 5 toothed. Petals equal, 

 wSow* Loinentum conspicuously stipitate^ rigidly mucronate, with both 

 SEciares thickenedj the two tunies of the pod separate in an unusual man- 

 ner when they are mature, so that the seeds appear to be inclosed in an 

 interior integuiueiit.
