Pithecolobium (Greek, monkey, and ear ring). Leguminosae. Tropical shrubs or trees planted for ornament and shade. With or without axillary stipular spines: lvs. bipinnate; lfts. at first small, many pinnate or large, 1-3- pinnate, rarely with 1 lft.; petiolar glands rarely wanting; stipules small and inconspicuous or persistent, hardened or spiny: fls. 5- or rarely 6-merous, hermaphrodite or rarely polygamous, in head-like spikes; calyx campanulate or tubular, short-toothed; corolla tubular or funnelform; stamens few or many, much exserted, at. the base or above united into a tube; anthers small; ovary sessile or stipitate, many-ovuled. style filiform, stigma terminal, small or capitate: pod compressed or flattened, circinate, twisted falcate, or rarely nearly straight, coriaceous, thick or somewhat fleshy, 2-valved, not septate between the seeds; seed pulpy, short, often dark-colored, ovate or orbicular, compressed; funiculus filiform or with variously expanded fleshy arils.—About 125 species. The subgenus samanea of Bentham is of generic rank. See Samanea, Vol. VI. It is distinguished from Pithecolobium by its straight indehiscent septate pods, and from Enterolobium by its straight, more or less constricted instead of short thick circinate or reniform pods.
