 20 — 35 cm longa; foliola superiora 7 — 10 cm longa, 1,5 — 3 cm lata, inferiora plerumque 

 minora, petiolulis 1 — 2 mm longis. Panicula 10 — 20 cm longa, rhachi 3 — 4 mm, ramis 

 1,5 mm crassis; cymularum stipites circ. 3 mm longi. Alabastra diametro circ. 3 mm;

In Florida (Coast of Florida from the mouth of the St. John Üiver and Cedur 

 Keys southward, ex Sargent 11. cc; olim in Georgia et Carolina australi quoque, ut 

 Robinson 1. c. opinatur, quamquam specimina nulla in Herbariis obvia sunt), insuper 

 in Mexico: In Florida: Rugel n. 115! (ad ostia l'lum. Manate, Florida austr. occid., 

 m. Jul. 1845, fruct. ; Hb. Boiss., Paris., Benth.); Buckley! (Florida, flor.; coram. 

 A. Gray); — in Mexico: C. de Karwinski! (Zimapan, m. Jul. 1827, flor.; Hb. Monac, 

 Berol.); Gregg (si recte ab A. Gray 1. c. 1852 cum Rugel n. 115 conveniens dicitur; 

 in Mexico septentrionali, loco accuratius non indicato). — Culta olim in Horto Bero- 

 linensi! (Hb. Willd. n. 7740), hoc tempore in Horto Panormitano!, ex quo sub n. 7! 

 et 8! flores et fructus recepi a. 1898; vix dubie huc quoque recensenda est arbor, 

 quam ipse vidi a. 1875 in Horto Romano sub divo cultam, etsi fructus ejus coccis 

 partim subglobosis et obscurius carinatis quodammodo recedunt et folia hie illic evadunt 

 rhachi insigniter alata, alis interdum quasi monströse sursum cum foliolis confluenti- 

 bus (specimina fructigera exstant a Pariatore in. Oct. 1856 lecta in Hb. Florentino!, 

 ab A. DC. m. Nov. 1859 lecta in Hb. DC.!).
