PEA FAMILY 



Pistil. Ovary superior, linear, bright red, hairy, bearing a long 

 incurved style. 



Fruit. Legume, smooth, linear-compressed, tipped with the rem- 

 nants of the styles. Seeds four to six, dark brown. 



Yellow-wood is recommended as really one of the best 

 medium sized trees for cultivation. The only objection that 

 is mentioned is a tendency of the trunk to divide very near 

 the ground. The autumnal coloring of the leaves is a par- 

 ticularly clear bright yellow.
