BL. Wilsoniana was originally described from fruiting material, 
the flowers being unknown. The very clear figure given by

_ free up to 50 ft. high; bole irregularly shaped, up to 13 ft. in 
diameter. Shoots of two kinds, some barren and spiny, others 
flower-bearing and unarmed or nearly so. Barren shoots zigzag, 
glabrescent on both surfaces except the midrib, which is pubescent ; 
stipules subulate, 4 lin. long. Leaves of the short-shoots: Petioles 
4—+ in. long ; leaflets elliptic or ovate-elliptic, rounded or obtuse at 
the apex, rounded at the base on the lower side, obtuse on the upper, 
1}-1}4 im. long, 7-1} in. broad. Spines up to 22 in, long, usually 
with a single branch nearly equalling the upper part of the main 
spine. Flower-bearing shoots \-6 in. long, bearing 9 leaves or fewer, 
densely greenish-pubescent. Leaves of the flower-bearing shoots 
(only seen in a relatively young state) densely greenish-pubescent ; 
petioles up to 1 in. long; leaflets broadly ovate or elliptic, obtuse 
or rounded at the apex, rounded at the base; the base of the blade 
on the upper side being 4-2 lin. above the base on the lower side,
