Pithecolobium flexicaule, Coult. (P. texense, Coult. Acacia flexicaulis, Benth.). Ebony. A shrub or small tree,20-30 ft. high: trunk 2-3 ft. diam., branching 8-10 ft. from ground, with short stout stipular spines: lvs. 4-6 pinnate, long-petiolate; petioles slender, puberulent; lfts. 3-6-pinnate, lower pair shortest, ovate-oblong, rounded at apex, glabrous, membranaceous or subcoriaceous, dark green, shining on the upper surface, paler below, 1/4 - 1/3 long .on short broad petiolules: fls. in cylindrical dense or interrupted spikes, 1 1/2 in. long on stout pubescent peduncles, fascicled in axils of lvs. of preceding year, sessile, yellow or creamy, fragrant; stamens exserted; corolla 4-5 times longer than calyx, puberulent; ovary glabrous, sessile: pod flattened turgid, straight or falcate, sessile, oblique at base, rounded and narrowed to a short point at apex, 4-6 in. long, 1-1 1/4 in. broad, dehiscent, thick, woody; seed imbedded in a thick pitchy pulp, suspended on a short straight funiculus, 1/2 in. long, 1/4 in. broad, irregularly obovate, bright reddish brown, sides faintly depressed. Texas to Low. Calif. S.S. 3:147.— The wood is heavy, hard, compact, close-grained, dark rich reddish brown tinged with purple, with clear bright yellow sapwood. Almost indestructible in contact with the ground and much used for fence- posts. The seeds are palatable and nutritious if boiled when green. They are roasted when ripe by the Mexicans who use the thick seed-coat as a substitute for coffee. A slow grower and not of sufficient size for timber.
