" Specimens of the rijie pod, witli srime ilrii-d lea\ &s and flowers, 



gathered near Cairo, 28 June, 1864. The tree is not uncommon in the 



gardens round Cairo ; i« known to the Arabs under the name of Heyar 



Sliemhi, and is said to be used as a purgative. The flowers, whicli were 



rather past their prime at the aliove date, hung all over the the tree in 



long drooping sjiikes, and had an agreeable smell. The ripe dried pods 



liung singly and in small bunches at the same time ; but if required for
