are much exserted. This section includes some dozen unarmed 
species.’ 
Under the name of Guilandina® (Fr., Bonducs or Cniquiers) a special 
genus has been made of two prickly climbing species of Cesalpinia, 
with swollen pods, whose thin pericarp thickly covered with prickles 
contains only a few large grey or yellow seeds with very hard coats. 
The two species of this section’ are found on the sea coast in all 
warm countries. 
In Pomaria the calyx, fruit, and most of the vegetative organs 
are covered with more or less prominent glands instead of prickles. 
In all other respects the five or six American species’ of this section 
resemble Cesalpinaria. Erythrostemon* has been placed alone in a 
neighbouring section because its pod is less glandular, and its stamens 
have red, much-exserted filaments, as in C. pulcherrima. It is a 
plant from temperate and South America,’ which flowers well in our 
gardens. ; 
Nugaria, on the contrary, consists of prickly climbers like Gudlan- 
dina ; but forms a distinct section because the pod is unarmed and 
the breadth of the seed exceeds its length. It includes two species’ 
from Asia and Australia. In all the foregoing sections the pod 
dehisces at maturity by two longitudinal clefts. 
In all the remaining species of Cesalpinia the dehiscence is incom- 
plete or very tardy, or the fruit is indehiscent. The sutures may 
be thickened, as occurs in Cinclidocarpus,” a section containing three 
or four species of prickly climbing shrubs from tropical Asia, re- 
sembling Wugaria. In Libidibia® (the Divi-divi Trees; Fr., Lzbcdzbzs), 
which contains five American species,” the sutures of the pod are
