The species of this group are clearly Sisseae of the section Podiopetalum, but stand well apart 
from all other groups in the genus except the Rostratae, which are clearly Amerimna of the section 
Entespermum, by the subulate epicalycine bracteoles. The triviality of the character adds to its 
value: in this case it is associated with a structure of the anthers that is not met with in any other 
Asiatie Dalbergia. |
