A tree, 15-20 feet in height: branches spreading, armed 
with strong black stipulary spines, puberulous towards their 
extremities. Leaves bipinnate: pinnae 10-17-paired: leaflets 
50-60-paired, shortly petiolulated, linear, bluntish, unequal 
and auriculated on the lower side at the base, ciliated : petiole 
angular, channelled above, puberulous, bearing an orbiculate 
urceolate green glandule below the lowest pair, and similar but 
much smaller ones between each of the two, three, or four ter- 
minal pairs of pinnae. Spines stipulary, strong, black, sharp. 
Spikes axillary, 1-2 together, cylindrical, at first much shorter 
than the leaf, but afterwards elongating : peduncles puberulous. 
Flowers numerous, white, sessile. Calyx externally puberu- 
lous, 5-fid ; teeth erect. Corolla rather longer than the calyx, 
5-fid, glabrous ; divisions ovate, acuminate, obtuse. Stamens 
twice the length of the corolla, very numerous, delicately capil- 
lary, distinct from the base. Ovary green, glabrous, shortly 
stipitate : style capillary length of the stamens. Legumes 
linear, attenuated at the base, acuminate at the apex, plane, 
glabrous, about 6-seeded or fewer by abortion : seeds orbicu- 
late, flattened.
