Very nearly allied to D. velutina vam. Maingayi, but with a different calyx and standard and 
very different epicalycine bracteoles, and easily distinguished by its fewer, smaller, mucronulate, quite 
glabrous leaflets.

A natural group, two of the members of which have been treated, though not perhaps very conveniently, 
as varieties of one species by Baker. The position of the two other species is not absolutely certain, but 
they are most probably members of this group.
