This species has sometimes been taken for C. javanica, of which it has nearly the foliage though with 
rather more numerous leaflets; but it is readily known by the axillary racemes and much smaller flowers 
on much shorter pedicels. The fruit, which I have not seen, is described as shorter and more slender.
