Funeke's specimens are in flower only, and Bertcro^s in fruit only ; but I have but Uttle doubt that both 

 belong to the same species, remarkable for its foliage, that of some species of Ungms-cah, its long flo.xrs 

 closely resembling those of the preceding and following species, and its large pod very much like that of 

 some varieties of Albizzia Lehheh
