externally opposite the seed, narrowed below abruptly to a narrow flattened stipe, 
rounded at the apex with a slight apiculus, l-seeded or rarely 2 seeded, with a tendency 
to break off between tho seeds, the stipe also sometimes with an abortive seed 
in its upper part, 1:25 in. long, '5 in. wide; seed orbicular, reniform ; "4 in. long, :35 
in. wide.

The absence of flowers renders the position of this species somewhat doubtful. When first studied 
by him, the writer from the great general similarity of the fruit was inclined to place it in Triptolemea, 
next D. parviflora. The much larger calyx, however, which is hardly distinguishable from that of D. 
Jerruginea, and the fact (though this last is not so valuable a character) that its stamens arè 
isodiadelphous, coupled with its general similarity leads him now to think that the species is more 
satisfactorily placed in Dalbergaria. In any case its velvety pods indicate that it is abundantly distinct 
from either of the species mentioned.
