Common in the E. Indian Peninsula, and Ceylon, also 
Mauritius, and the W. Indies, but evidently cultivated only. 
in the latter station. 
287. A. catechuoides, ramulis fuscescentibus petiolisque 
pubentibus v. demum glabris, aculeis infrastipularibus 
geminis recurvis v. nullis, pinnis 10-20-jugis, petiolo inermi,

Peninsula, Roxburgh, Carey, Wight ; Assam, Jenkins. 
288. A. Sundra (DC. Prod. ii. 458,) glaberrima, ramis fusco- 
nigris, aculeis infrastipularibus geminis recurvis parvis 
nullisve, pinnis 10-15-jugis, petiolo inermi, foliolis 20-30- 
jugis linearibus, spicis axillaribus folio brevioribus, floribus 
sessilibus glabris, calyce corolla triplo breviore, legumine lato

t. 225.—A. Chundra, Willd. Spec. iv. 1078.—E. Indian 
Peninsula, Wight; Ceylon, Berlin Herbarium. 
The petals are much deeper divided in 4. Sundra than in 
A. Catechu; A. Catechuoides is, in that respect, as well as in 
the length of the calyx, intermediate between the two. In 
all three I find the stamens free, though inserted, as in other 
Acacie, on the outside of a thick almost cupuliform disk, and 
they are in all the flowers I have examined, above fifty in 
number, instead of fifteen or twenty, as stated by De 
Candolle.
