Tlie flowers are arranged in few-flowered racemes which are placed latei-ally on the year-shoots. The fruit is an inflated hairy pod 2—3,.5 centimetres long, it contains about 3 seeds which are hard-shelled, flat and reniform; as the pod is swept along by the wind, the seeds may be heard i-attling inside. The structure of the leaf is isolateral (fig. 32) with storaata on both sides, and 3—4 layers of palisade cells filled with starch on the upper side and about the same number.
