Julibrissin 519 to 3 times the length of the corolla, their filaments united into a tube at the base; ovary smooth and stalked; style filiform. The pod ripens in August and persists on the branches until the flowering season; it is linear-oblong, flat, leath- ery, 7 to 12 cm. long, about cm. wide, taper-pointed, obliquely tapering into the stalked base, brown outside, yellow inside, splitting readily through the thick margin; the seeds are transverse in the pod, flattened, ovate to orbicular ovate, 6 mm. long, dark brown and shining, with an oval depression on each side. The wood is rather hard, close-grained, dark red-brown, and very heavy. There is but one species known of the genus Havardia; its name is in honor of Colonel Valery Havard, , of the United States Army, who has made many valuable contributions to our knowledge of the botany of the various regions in which his active miUtary career has stationed him. IV. JULIBRISSIN GENUS ALBIZZIA DURAZZINI Species Albizzia Julibrissin Durazzini vm3 N Asiatic tree, long planted for ornament and shade in the southern States, where it is hardy as far north as the District of Columbia; it has become naturalized in woods and thickets from Virginia to Florida and Louisiana. Its maximum height is 12 meters, with a trunk diameter of 5 dm. The branches are long and wide-spread- ing, forming a rather round-headed tree. The bark is thin and scaly. The twigs are slender, somewhat angular, spineless, smooth, and yellowish brown. The leaves are evenly bipinnate, 2 to 4 dm. long, including the leaf- stalk, which is 1 to dm. long; there are 8 to 12 pair's of pinna, all of nearly equal length, about 10 cm. long, and the axis ter- minated by a spine-hke projection; leaflets 25 to 35 pairs, oblong, 10 to 15 mm. long, un- equal, the upper margin being s
