Foot of the CENTRAL HIMALAYAS to CEYLON and MALACCA. 



A tall erect tree, without prickles, Xea/'-rachises finely downy, with a gland at 

 the base of the petiole and of the 1-2 upper pinnae ; pinnae 6-8 ; leaflets obliquely- 

 oblong, articulated on the rachis, f -1 in. long, rigidly subcoriaceous, glaucous beneath, 

 strongly reined, with the midrib parallel with the upper edge at a short distance 

 from it. Heads small, few-flowered, very numerous, forming ample deltoid terminal 

 panicles crowded in peduncled corymbs at the end of the branches and smaller ones 

 from the upper leaf-axils. Calyx underpin. Corolla grey-silky in., with lanceolate 

 teeth. Pod firm, flexible, 6-8 in. by 1-1^ in., opaque or glossy, 8-12-seeded. We 

 have not material for separating from this A. lebekkoides, Benth., reported by Kurz 

 from Birma.
