The alternate, even-pinnate leaves have from 2- to 40 small, opposite, oblong leaflets.  The pale yellow flowers have petals with red veins and grow in racemes at the ends of the branches.  Flowering time in the northern hemisphere is during April and May.

In the tropics, it is commonly eaten as a food and made into cooling beverages.  It makes a refreshing drink for those ill with a fever.  The natives of the tropics use the leaves externally in a form of poultice or fomentation.  A small amount of the pulp of the fruit, mixed with Cassia fistula and the powder of Rhubarb is a refreshing drink and an appetite stimulant.  As a laxative, Tamarind pulp is usually used with Senna to modify the action of the latter.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Dosages\">Formulas or Dosages<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Tamarind Whey:<\/strong> mix 1 oz. pulp of the fruit with 1 pint of milk, strain it and add a little sugar to the whey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tamarind Beverage:<\/strong> boil 3 pints of water with a teacup of tamarinds, a few currants and raisins until it has evaporated 1\/3.
