298 REVISION OF THE NATURAL ORDER HEDERACEZX. 
foliolis simplicibus v. compositis (lomentaceis) ; floribus umbellatis, 
racemosis v. spicatis 
This genus is eiie to Spharodendron, from which it differs chiefly 
by its ruminate albumen; and it is possible that some Cussonias will 
have to be transferred to it when their fruit shall have become known. 
"To restrict Cussonia to the species with spicate flowers, as Miquel wishes 
to do, appears to me impracticable.
