The pod in this genus is almost as much diversified as in Acacia, often very different in species otherwise 

 closely allied, and in many species as yet unknown. The following sections, therefore, already somewhat 

 modified from those I had formerly proposed, may require some further alterations as the snecies become 

 better known :
