The nearest affinity of this tree is evidently with Dialium, from 
which it differs in the more valvate calyx, the stamens and _ petals 
forming normal whorls of five, instead of being reduced to two or 
fewer, and in the shape of the fruit 
yet they all probably belong to the same species.—G. Bunt
