This plant appears, in its native climate, sometimes to form a tree of no in- 
considerable dimensions, with rounded branches. Leaves impari-pin- 
nate, of from 3 to 5 or 7 ovato-acuminate, glabrous, alternate leaflets, 
the upper ones small and simple. : 
Flowers terminal and axillary, solitary, extremely fugacious, white, sweet- 
scented (in our specimens not paniculated). Calyx of 5 leaves, with the 
leaflets subulate, obtuse, thickish, with resinous dots. Petals 5, dotted, 
erecto-patent, obovato-lanceolate, acute and clawed. Stamens 10, hypo- 
gynous, deciduous, inserted in a single row at the base of an elevated 
fleshy disk or nectary, unequal, those opposite the calycine segments 
the longest. Filaments plane, subulate, standing so close as almost to 
form a tube, but always free. Anthers roundish, pale, 2-celled. Ger- 
men oval, granulated, inserted upon the fleshy disk, 2-celled, cells 2- 
seeded. Style filiform, thick, jointed upon the germen, and deciduous, 
equal in length with the stamens. Stigma capitate, flattish at the top, 
somewhat 2-lobed.— Lindl. |
