The largest trees attain a height of 25 

 to 30 feet, with trunks 6 to 8 inches in 

 diameter. The foliage is deep green, 

 with the leaflets smooth and polished on 

 the upper surface. The greenish yellow 

 flowers, in cylindrical open spikes, are 

 not very conspicuous, but the pods are 

 produced in large clusters, and the ex- 

 posed surfaces show bright scarlet for a 

 long time before maturing. This tree 

 might have value as a hedge plant or

 the Southwestern States. (O. F. Cook,
