A small genus of unarmed trees, in Afr. and the Pacific Isls.: fls. with vexillum much exceeding calyx and clawed, the lateral and anterior petals scale-like or wanting; perfect stamens 7, staminodia 2. A. bijuga, Gray. Tree: lvs. abruptly pinnate, the lfts. mostly in 2 pairs, ovate: fls. in small terminal panicles: pod oblong and flat, 5-8 in. long by 2 in. wide; seeds compressed-orbicular, 1 in. or more in diam.
