$ 5. DALBERGARIA.—Standard ‘reflexed, but not distinctly refracted, the claw 
tapering gradually into the blade; stamens normally isodiadelphous. 
This section includes the American and African Eerstaphylla, which also have isodiadel phous 
stamens. It is most nearly related to the section Miscolulium, and only differs from that section ss 
regards stamens. The character is not absolutely constant; in the group Reniformes, for example, 
the species D. reniformis, though usually isodiadelphous, is sometimes monadelphous—at all events 
in young flowers; in D. Kunstleri both arrangements seem about equally common. In the section 
Sericcae, while D. sericea seems always to have isodiadelphous stamens, JD. sacerdotum, which in every 
other respect is clearly very closely related to D. sericea, has them monadelphous; іп D. sacerdotum, 
however, the flowers examined were all very young, which possibly explains the condition observed. 
€ 18. Sericeae.— Pod very narrow-ligulate, samaroid; style cylindric; leaflets obtuse; 
trees. 
Apparently a very natural group, including the two most exclusively northern Asiatic forms. 
Other species do occur where D. sericea grows, but except itself and D. Sissoo all of them naturally 
extend much further south, either to Indo-China, or to Peninsular India, or both.
