The most beautiful and valuable of the ornamental woods are red cedar, silky oak, bean-tree, and maple.

It is often called "The Bean Tree" because its fruit is like a long bean in form.

For this purpose the coral bean-tree (Erythrina Corallodendrum) is chosen.

After crossing the range, we found the bean-tree in blossom; it was magnificent.

When the fenessi were absent, the wood-bean tree flourished and kindly sprinkled the ground with its fruit.
