A large woody climber, stems attaining f in. diam., slightly- 

 rough but not pubescent, greyish or yellowish, copiously set 

 with small, very sharp, hooked, decurved prickles, young parts 

 minutely pilose ; 1. numerous, rachis 5-6 in., swollen at base, 

 nearly glabrous when mature, slightly channelled above, with 

 a large sessile gland near base and smaller ones just below 

 the bases of one or two uppermost pairs of pinnae, the under 

 side set with decurved hooked prickles, stip. cordate, acute, 

 early caducous, pinnae 5-8 pair, with a flattened rachis 2-3 in. 

 long, lflts. 20-40 (10-20 pair), nearly sessile, crowded and 

 slightly overlapping, g— |, very unequal-sided, the midrib near 

 the upper margin, linear-oblong, truncate at base, abruptly 

 acute or mucronate, glabrous on both sides; fl. -heads globular, 

 very numerous, small fin., on finely woolly peduncles \-\ in. 

 long and 2-4 at a node, arranged in large pubescent pyramidal 

 terminal panicles, bracts linear, inconspicuous ; cal. funnel- 

 shaped, pubescent, lobes acute; pod large, about 6 in. by \\ in. 

 wide with a short stalk, bluntly pointed, straight, flat and 

 thin, glabrous, slightly veined, 6-10-seeded, dehiscent. 



Low country ; common. Fl. Sept. ; yellow. 

 Also in India, Malaya, and Philippines. 



A variable plant, horribly prickly ; the lflts. soon fold together after 

 gathering. A. Intsia cannot be separated from A. ccesia even as a variety. 



[A. concinna, DC, is included in Thw. Enum. 99, and following this 

 is given for Ceylon in Fl. B. Ind. ii. 297 and Trim. Syst. Cat. 30. But all 

 the specimens of C. P. 15 19 that I have seen are referable to A. ccesia, 

 with which Thwaites clearly confounded it. There are no Ceylon speci- 

 mens in Herb. Kew or Brit. Mus.]
