FL. After the Autumnal rains. 
A shrubby tree : branches terete, unarmed. Leaflets more 
commonly abruptly pinnated, entire, shining above, paler be- 
neath, subcoriaceous. Racemes terminal, erect : flowers small, 
white. Calyx 5-partite. Petals 3. Filaments 3, very short. 
Ovary 3-lobed, 3-fid at the apex : style none : stigmata 3. 
Carpels 3 (but 2 of them are usually abortive): seed orbicu- 
late, black, shining. — Swartz. 
Swartz informs us that this tree is known in Jamaica by the 
name of Lignum rorum , being a corruption of Ligno Rhodio, 
which it resembles in giving out, when rubbed or heated, a 
strong odour. De Candolle describes the leaves as villous ; 
but 1 have preferred following Swartz. 
3. Zanthoxylum aculeatum ? Prickly Yellow-wood. 
Aculeate, leaves abruptly pinnated 3-jugate, leaflets 
oval sub-emarginate obsoletely crenated, glabrous, 
cyme terminal, flowers triandrous. 
HAB. Below Berwick House, Port-Royal. 
FL. October. 
Arborescent, about 10 feet in height ; branches erect, sub-

coriaceous : petiole sub-terete, compressed, sulcated above : 
petiolule short. Cyme terminal : common peduncle elongated, 
angulated : flowers numerous, crowded, white, fragrant, very 
shortly pedicelled. Calyx minute 3-fid : divisions rounded.

Stamens 3, alternating with the petals, and rather longer ; fila- 
ments thickish, broad ; anthers cordate, purple. Ovary 3-go- 
nal ; styles 2, short ; stigmata simple. 
A handsome shrub, with the cyme of flowers showy and 
fragrant, and deserving a place in the garden equally with the 
Mealy Guelder-rose, to which it bears some resemblance.
