All this time I had not seen our domicile, and when our drive ended under the quivering shadow of large tamarind and algaroba trees, in front of a long, stone, two-storied house with two deep verandahs festooned with clematis and passion flowers, and a shady lawn in front, I felt as if in this fairy land anything might be expected. ❋ Isabella Lucy (2004)
Although it is hoped that a leper hospital is not to be a permanent institution of the kingdom, the soft green grass of the enclosure has been liberally planted with algaroba trees, which in a year or two will form a goodly shade, and water has been brought in from a distance at considerable expense, so that an abundant supply is always at hand. ❋ Isabella Lucy (2004)
The delicate tamarind and the feathery algaroba intermingled their fragile grace with the dark, shiny foliage of the South Sea exotics, and the deep red, solitary flowers of the hibiscus rioted among dear familiar fuschias and geraniums, which here attain the height and size of large rhododendrons. ❋ Isabella Lucy (2004)

He had been robbed of his hate; his evenings beneath the algaroba tree had lost their savor; life was devoid of spice. ❋ Biggers, Earl Derr, 1884-1933 (1926)

As he turned back, his eyes went to the algaroba tree beyond the wire, and he saw the yellow flare of a match. ❋ Biggers, Earl Derr, 1884-1933 (1925)
As he approached what he judged must be the neighborhood of the woman's house, a flock of Indian myna birds in a spreading algaroba screamed loudly, their harsh voices the only note of discord in that peaceful scene. ❋ Biggers, Earl Derr, 1884-1933 (1925)
Comes over every night and stands under that algaroba tree of his, smoking cigarettes and staring at my house. ❋ Biggers, Earl Derr, 1884-1933 (1925)
