64 AMERIMNON. 
A group that is only subnatural. The two Asiatic species it includes agree as to pods and as 
to flowers. If general appearance and habit be alone considered and the artificial character afforded 
by the fruit be neglected, D. menosides might be treated as a member of the group Rubiginosae, 
D. torta аза member of the group Congestac.
