Amherstia (Countess Amherst and her daughter, Lady Amherst, promoters of botany in India). Leguminosae. A monotypic genus comprising A. nobilis, Wall., one of the noblest of flowering trees, native to India, where it reaches a height of 40 ft. and more. Fls. gaudy red, 8 in. long, with wide-spreading petals, the upper ones gold-tipped, and colored petal-like bracts, in long, hanging racemes: Lvs. pinnate, nearly 3 ft. long.
