This plant belongs to a group of species indigenous to 

 America, which was brought from the Spanish colonies of the 

 New World into those of the Eastern Hemisphere. The same is 

 to be said of Dalea nigra Mart, et Gal. and of Prosopis jiili- 

 flora DC. Olh^icidia sepium has also been introduced into the 

 Caroline Islands, where it has been collected by Prof. Yolkens. 

 The nomenclature of this tree is completely given by Urban, in 

 Symb. antill. vol. II, p. 288 (1900—1901). Formerly the plant 

 was called Gliricidia maculata H. B.K.; but the oldest specific 

 name is Robinia sepium Jacq. It is a well known coffee - 

 shading tree and is figured by Preuss, in Expedition nach 

 Central- und Siid-Amerika (1899/1900), plate 10.
