reticulations irregular ; petiole '3 to '4 in. long, bordered above by the 
prominently crispate edges of the decurrent blade, rugose beneath- 
Inflorescence a slender terminal 3-pinnate leafy panicle of distant com- 
paratively few-flowered racemes, 4 to 8 in. long; rachis and its branches 
densely rusty-villous ; bracts leafy below, spathulate above, bracteoles 
subulate, deciduous, about half as long as the ’05 to -1 in. long pedicels 
which are longer in fruit ; buds very minute, globose. Calyx-lobes very 
small, triangular, pubescent; tube as long as lobes. Corolla-lobes oblong, 
free, blunt, '06 in. long, densely villous without, papillose within and 
glandular-dotted. Stamens shorter than the corolla-lobes, inserted near 
their base ; anthers rounded, warted with inconspicuous glands behind 
at the insertion of the dorsifixed filaments. Ovary in $ flower rudi-

•1 to - 2 in. long, channelled above. Inflorescence a long, 3-pinnate, leafy 
panicle of long slender many-flowered racemes, rachises minutely 
pubescent ; bracts leafy, bracteoles subulate, minute, much shorter than 
the - 1 in. long very slender pedicels ; buds globose shaggy, flowers grey.

less than half the length of the corolla-lobes, inserted at the base ; 
anthers reniform, with inconspicuous glandular warts on the back at
