Describe the plant here...
{{Inc|
Herminiera (name refers to the stout thorns and stamens). Leguminosae. One species, in Trop. Afr.: by some included in aeschynomene. Fls. papilionaceous; calyx 2-lipped; standard orbicular, short-clawed; wings about equaling the standard, obliquely obovate; keel broad, obtuse or somewhat beaked: pod linear and nearly flat, curved spirally, separating at the square articulations. H. elaphroxylon, Guill. & Perr. (Aeschynomene elaphroxylon, Taub.), the ambash or pith-tree of the upper Nile and beyond, may possibly be planted somewhere in our region: erect thorny shrub, to 20 ft.: lvs. bristly; lfts. 10-20 pairs, ½ in. or less long, linear- oblong: fls. bright orange, subcorymbose, the peduncles bristly; standard 1 ½ in. broad. G.W. 14, p. 605.—It grows in wet places, sometimes choking streams.
