In foliage and flowers, the species of this section scarcely 
differ from Abaremotemon, especially those of the first group, 
which have the same inflorescence. The leaflets and pinne | 
are usually more numerous and smaller. The pod is very 
different, coming in some instances near to that of the flat 
fruited Inge, from which however they are at once known 
by the bipinnate foliage. B :
