The specimens bear only fruit, and a few young flower-buds. The 

 ripe pod accords with the character given by Bentham for S. grandi- 

 flora, except that it is not bullate, but finely wrinkled transversely, 

 and ferrugineous. The flowers are noted by Bentham, in Hook. 

 Lond. Jour. Bot. 5, p. 108. In Dr. Pickering's notes this is said to 

 be a large tree at Eimeo, with the foliage of Tamarindus : at the 

 Feejee Islands, a spreading tree, 40 feet high.
