This is a shrub, or probably a small-sized tree, with large, 
pinnated leaves, quite destitute of spines or serratures, and with 
leaflets not inaptly resembling those of the common Ash. The 
Tacemes too are peculiarly long and slender, and the pedicels 
about an inch in length. The fruit I have not seen.
