 Inr branches, bark dark- brown. Leaves evenly 2- pinnate ; rachis ang-ulav, 

 pnberulons, 2-7 in. long, petiolar portion I-IS in. long with a hirge 

 shortly stipitate gland just above base, foliar portion with small dis- 

 tinctly stalked glands just below eajh pair of pinnae except the lowest , 

 pinnae usually 3-6- (rarely 8-10-) jugate, their- rachises with smnll 

 stipitate glands between each pair of leaflets except the lowest, 

 diminishing downwards, distal 5-6 in. long, basal r5--2 in. long; leaflets

 subumbellate C'>rymbs •35-'4 in. across, on short peduncles 3-*5 in. long, 

 solitary or 2-3 vertically superposed above the axils of bracts with a 

 large gland, on angular branchlets 3-4 in. long similarly disposed on the 

 angular main-rachis but with the bracts reduced to an angled petiolule 

 bearing a large bract at its tip ; pedicels of florets "1 in. long, slender, 

 puberulous, their bracteoles minute or obsolete ; the whole inflorescence 

 forming a large terminal panicle extending into axils of upper leaves,
