Nearest P. Clypearia but very easily distinguished by its terete branches and 

 its sessile glands, as well as by its sessile florets. 



11. Pithecolobium Clypearta Benth. in Hook. Lond. Journ. Bot. 

 Ill, 209. A tree 25-30 feet high with spreading brown-pubescent angu- 

 lar branches, bark dark-brown. Leaves evenly 2-pinnate ; rachis angular, 

 puberulous, 2-7 in. long, petiolar portion 1-1*5 in. long with a laiye 

 shortly stipitate gland just above base, foliar portion with small dis- 

 tinctly stalked glands just below each pair of pinnae except the lowest, 

 pinna? usually 3-6- (rarely 8-10-) jugate, their rachises with small 

 stipitate glands between each pair of leaflets except the lowest, 

 diminishing downwards, distal 5-6 in. long, basal 1*5-2 in. long; leaflets 

 of upper, pinnae 5-7-jugate, of lowest 3-4- jugate, trapeziform, wide- 

 triangular at upper angle, base obliquely unilaterally truncate or 

 rounded, upper and lower margins subparallel, main nerve diagonal ; 

 rigidly papery, dark-green glabrous or faintly puberulous shining above, 

 glaucous with scattered adpressed hairs beneath, terminal 1*5 in. long, 

 *75 in. wide, lowest *5 in. long, *3 in. wide ; petiolules 0. Flowers in small 

 subumbellate corymbs *35-*4 in. across, on short peduncles - 3-*5 in. long, 

 solitary or 2-3 vertically superposed above the axils of bracts with a 

 large gland, on angular branchlets 3-4 in. long similarly disposed on the 

 angular main-rachis but with the bracts reduced to an angled petiolule 

 bearing a large bract at its tip ; pedicels of florets *1 in. long, slender, 

 puberulous, their bracteoles minute or obsolete ; the whole inflorescence 

 forming a large terminal panicle extending into axils of upper leaves, 

 15-18 in. long, 10-15 in. wide. Calyx campanulate, 05 in. long, puberu- 

 lous externally, teeth short deltoid. Corolla white, glabrous, *1 in. long, 

 teeth lanceolate half as long as tube. Filaments united at base in a 

 tube shorter than that of corolla, free portion white, *35 in. long. Ovary 

 puberulous stipitate. Pod spirally twisted, 4-5 in. long, *4 in. wide, 

 dehiscing along the lower suture, valves thinly coriaceous, orange out- 

 side, red within, glabrous; stipe *15 in. long; distinctly sinuate between
