Tribe XI. 



DETARIE'Ji (plants agreeing with Detarium in important 

 characters). D. C. legum. mem. xiii. prod. 2. p. 521. Calyx 

 4-lobed, globose before expansion ; lobes valvate. Petals want- 

 ing. Stamens 10-25, perigynous, nearly free. Legume fleshy. 

 Cotyledons thick. African trees, with impari-pinnate leaves. 

 This tribe agrees with Swartziea; in the calyx, but with Cassieat 

 in the rest of the characters. It comes very near to the order 

 Amygdalacece in the drupaceous fruit, and the icosandrous 

 flowers.

 Senegal). Juss. gen. 365. D. C. prod. 2. p. 521.
