«24. Reniformes. Pod falcate-subreniform, thickened throughout; style subulate ; 
erect or climbing. 
A group that, it is to be feared, is only subnatural; D. Godefroyi departs widely in appearance 
from the remaining species and but for its thickened pods might have been more naturally placed in 
the Stipulaceae, which group it connects with this one. The others appear, however, to form a 
fairly natural group of allies.
