It has been suggested by Mr. Baker that this is a variety of D. congesta. It is, however, more 
nearly related to D. malabarica, which is treated by Mr. Baker as а form of D. tamarindifolia,

A very distinct species, nearest to D. malabarica which it connects with the remaining Congestae, 
but easily recognized by its fewer thinner leaflets and its somewhat different calyx,
