- Genus multis aliis Sapindeis arcte connexum : e.g. species calyce parvo a Zafonia segre distin- 
guendz sunt; a Sapindis variis et a Deinbollie specie una 8-andra differt tantum coccis v. lobis 
fructus dehiscentibus, a Diploglottide disco completo, a Ta/lisia precipue fructu dehiscente. 
DicrvosEuma, B/ume, Rumphia, ii. 163, differt tantum (ex auctore) floribus 5-meris, eapsula 
carnosa, et ovario 2-loculari ; ad Cupaniam a Miquelio reducta est.
