Spec. Char., §c. An unarmed low tree or shrub, with 
impari-pinnate leaves, composed of many pairs 
of stipulate leaflets, and these are, as well as the 
calyxes, beset with glands. Racemes terminal, 
cylindrical, flowers white. (Don’s Mill., ii. p. 234.) 
A deciduous shrub or low tree. Mexico, on 
mountains. Height 6 ft. to 10 ft; in British gar- 
dens 4 ft. to 6 ft. Introduced in 1837. Flowers 
white. Legume ?. 
This plant was raised in the Hort. Soc. Garden, 
and has proved quite hardy. The leaves are dis- 
tinctly marked with glandular dotting ; a very un- 
usual case among leguminous plants. The twigs 
are short, and so closely set upon the branches 
as to form a dense mass of foliage. Each is termi- 
nated by an erect compact spike, from 2 in. to 
3 in. long, of white or pale yellow flowers, 
which, although not larger than those of a spirzea, nevertheless, from their 
abundance, must produce a beautiful appearance. (Bot. Reg.
