n. 591 asa scandent shrub. The pubescence in D. Hemsleyi is very like that in the present species, 
but the leaflets are fewer and larger and havea very different venation. The nearest ally of D. Colletti 
is not D. relulina, as suggested by Collett and Hemsley, Js. cit.; it differs by its smaller flowers in 
terminal panicles, by its differently-shaped and deciduous stipules, by its larger epicalycine bracteoles ; 
also by the absence of auricles from the bases of the wing-blades. Its nearest ally is D. yunnanensis Franch., 
from which it mainly differs in the smaller size of its flowers and leaflets, and of which it may prove to 
be only a variety.
