Trachylobium (Greek, rough and pod; the upper surface of the pod is tuberculate - roughened). Leguminosae. Unarmed trees: lvs. with 2 lfts. which are coriaceous; stipules caducous: fls. white, panicled at the ends of the branches; calyx-tube disk-bearing, narrow-turbinate, segms. 4; petals 5, sometimes the 3 upper clawed and suborbicular, the 2 lower minutely scale-like, sometimes all subequal and clawed; stamens 10, free; ovary short-stipitate: pod ovoid-oblong, thick-coriaceous, warty-rugose, indehiscent.—Three species, Trop. Afr., Mascarene Isls., and Trop. Asia. T. verrucosum, Oliver (T. Hornemannianum, Hayne). Tree wholly glabrous excepting the tawny or silky pubescent infl.: lfts. 1-paired, obliquely oblong or elliptical, acuminate or apiculate: panicles overtopping the lvs.; calyx-segms. obovate-elliptical or oblong; petals posterior and lateral subequal, anterior equal or rudimentary: pod l-2-seeded, oblong or obovoid, l 1/4-2 in, long.
