None known for island
Au: (L.) Benth.
Tree with yellow mimosa like powder puff flowers.
The Bluff, found in the yard of a house at the northern end of the
settlement, on the west side of the main road. Most likely cultivated
24°30’ 97” N	Longitude 75°35’ 21” W
This was the only place on the island I saw this species, thus I presume it
was cultivated there. Not previously listed as occurring on Cat Island
(Correll & Correll, 1982).
