HAB. Near Quarrel’s Pen, Kingston, Liguanea. 
FL. June and November. 
A lowly tree, about 8 feet in height : branches horizontally 
spreading, flexuose, terete, puberulous towards their extremi- 
ties. Spines in pairs, at the divisions of the branches, unequal 
in length, straight. Leaves bipinnate : pinnae 6-paired : leaf- 
lets 2l-paired, lineari-oblong, subacute, nerved, ciliated and 
minutely puberulous beneath, about 3 lines in length : common 
petiole puberulous, bearing a small pedicelled glandule below 
the lowest pair of pinnae, and one between each of the extreme 
pairs. Stipules an inch in length, linear, membranaceous, de- 
ciduous. Peduncle solitary, opposite to a leaf, an inch in 
length, bearing 15-20 pale greenish slightly fragrant flowers 
in a head. Calyx tubular, 5-fid. Corolla twice the length of 
the calyx, 5-fid ; divisions erect. Stamens more than twice 
the length of the corolla, monadelphous at the base. Ovary 
glabrous : style length of the stamens. Legume compressed, 
glabrous, arcuate : seeds several, oval. 
The flowers appear to be polygamous, as only certain trees 
bear fruit. The blossoms show after the May, as well as the 
October rains ; but it is only after the latter that I have ob- 
served the pods to form.
