Flowers dioecious or polygamous, regular, not papilionaceous; calyx tubular, 5-cleft; petals 5, oblong, perigynous, resembling the sepals, or slightly larger and paler; stamens 10; filaments pubescent, distinct, short, perigynous; pistil 1; ovary superior, simple, 1-celled; placenta parietal; ovules numerous; style slender: fr. an oblong (2-10-in. long), thick, flat, curved, dark brown legume; seeds lenticular, about 1 in. broad.—The genus contains 2 species, one American, the other E. Asian. The American species, the Kentucky coffee tree, is now frequently planted for ornamental purposes. Its ascending branches, coarse twigs and pods give it a peculiar sturdy aspect, heightened in summer by the immense compound lvs. Prop, by seeds and cuttings. Foliage appears in late spring.
