(See page GLEDITSCHIA. Three-Thorned Acacia A small genus of large, rapid-growing, thorny trees, with dark green, glossy leaves. They are hardy, easily grown, and form excellent specimens for park planting. Perhaps the most suitable hedge-plant for the north, where the Osage orange will not survive. G. triacanthos. Honey Locust. A native tree of lar- gest size, very thorny, with smooth, deep green pin- nate leaves. When full of its long twisted pods in autumn, the effect is peculiar and picturesque. It forms a stately object on large lawns. GYMNOCLADUS. Kentucky Coffee A monotypic genus of a single native species, which grows to a large size; very tall, with long naked branches almost destitute of branchlets, and bipinnate leaves. Flowers conspicuous, in terminal racemes followed by large, thick pods. G. dioica ('Svn., G. Canadensis). Kentucky Coffee.
