Parkinsonia Torreyana, Wats. Small tree, 18-25 ft. tall, with light green, smooth bark: young branches and leaves sparingly pubescent: leaflets 2 or 3 pairs, oblong, obtuse, narrowed toward the scarcely oblique base, glaucous, about 1/4in. long: racemes terminal with rather long pedicels, jointed near the middle, but joint not evident until in fruit; petals bright yellow, a prominent gland on the upper one: pod acute, more or less constricted between the very thick ventral suture. Valley of the Colo, and eastward through W. Texas.—Usually naked in the S.W. as the leaves are early deciduous.
