what falcate, rounded, divaricate, the sinus with a short stipi- 
tate process, base much narrowed into the stout, 6 mm long claw, 
the other four petals subequal, oblong, acuminate, about 4 mm

long hairs. Ovary narrowly oblong, pubescent, somewhat com- 
pressed, including the pubescent style about 13 mm in length. 
Pod brown and shining when dry, about 12 cm long and 5.5 cm 
wide, inequilaterally oblong-obovate, slightly curved along the

A tree, glabrous except the inflorescence. Leaves pinnate, 
about 20 cm long, the leaflets 6, opposite, firmly chartaceous, 
shining and brownish-olivaceous on the upper surface, the lower 
surface pale, oblong to oblong-ovate, 7 to 10 cm long, 4 to 7 cm 
wide, base acute, apex long and slenderly acuminate, the acumen 
up to 1.5 cm in length, acute ; lateral nerves about 10 on each 
side of the midrib, slender, anastomosing, scarcely more distinct 
than are the secondary nerves and primary reticulations ; petio- 
lules 2 to 3 mm long. Inflorescence a depauperate, few-flow- 
ered panicle, or reduced to a few fascicled racemes, excluding 
the flowers about 6 cm in length, all parts rather densely ciner- 
eous-pubescent with short hairs. Bracts in general broadly

wider than long, densely pubescent. Calyx-tube about 5 mm 
long ; outer two sepals narrowly elliptic, about 8 mm long and 4 
mm wide, rounded, the inner two broadly elliptic, about 9 mm
