2. C. impunctata Welw. ms. in Herb. 



A slender shrub, 7 to 9 ft. high ; branches twisted and bent in 

 various directions as if climbing, glabrous, lenticellate, armed at 

 the base of the spreading unarmed branchlets with two recurved 

 red spines. Leaves alternate, exstipulate, impari-pinnate, 2-4- 

 jugate, 3 to 6 in. long; petiole | to 1 in. long, short puberulous ; 

 petiolules mostly very short; terminal leaflet usually lobed- 

 toothed, 1^ to 2 in. long, membranous; lateral leaflets usually 

 opposite, ovate, f to 1| in. long by § to | in. wide, more or less 

 narrowed at both ends, glabrous except the narrow shortly puberu- 

 lous or glabrate midrib and principal veins, membranous, green 

 on both sides, rather paler beneath, not pellucid-punctate, nearly 

 entire or somewhat crenate-dentate along the margin of the upper 

 part. Infructescence in the upper axils and terminal, in lax 

 cymes, shorter than the leaves, U t o 2 in. long, shortly puberulous ; 

 pedicels slender, ranging up to | in. long. Immature fruits drupa- 

 ceous, green, subglobose, ^ to i in. in diam., superior, based by the
