Livera states that it has 8-10 pairs of leaflets but there are only 
5-6 pairs in the specimens at Peradeniya. He also states that the 
panicles are less than 3 the length of the leaf which is not the case. 
Also in India.

Willis notes under C. velutina (C. tabularis Auct. non A. Juss.) 
R. Anderson sent a specimen from Matale with glabrous leaves. This
