Calyx with the two upper teeth the broadest, the lowest often the 
longest. Standard ovate or orbicular; wings oblong; keel obtuse, its 
petals connate upwards. Stamens all connate in a sheath split above, 
or the upper one free or absent, or the sheath also split below so that 
they form two bundles; anthers small, erect, didymous, their cells 
placed back to back, opening by a small apical or rarely by a longi- 
tudinal slit. Ovary stalked, pauciovulate ; style incurved short; stigma 
small, terminal. ‘Pod samaroid, oblong, rarely falcate, generally flat, 
thin, always indehiscent, in all our species usually only one-seeded.— 
rees or wide-climbing shrubs. 
A large genus, dispersed throughout the Tropics. Mr. Bentham has monographed 
all the jean ea of this and the other genera of the tribe Dalbergiew in the 
Supplement to the fourth yolume of the Journal of the Linnean Society.
