specitQenaj it jb liairy in ftll the specimena above cited where there are flowers. Tli» 
most nearly related epecios arc D, subsyntpathetica, wliicU has muoli Rmaller leaflets

wliieli also baa rather larger flowers and amaller leafleta. In D. sympathetica kow- 
©Tor the leafleta are mors namorous and tho pod thoug-b similar is more shortly 
Etalked. 
Mr. Benthara, who had not seen frait of this when he wiNote, BUggfested that this 
might prove to bo tho same as D. parvijlora Roxb. One objection to this saggoation 
is the very Bmall number of leaflets described by Iloibargh ; a atill more fatal ob- 
jection, hoiTover, is in the pod ; this Roxburgh desoriboa as faleatCr — an iadicatioii 
that D. parvijlora should ba sought for in § Selenolohiam rather than in $ Sissoa.

Tory near D, Junghuhnti and jost possibly only a variety of that apecies; it is 
however easiJy distingmished by its much snmller leaflets and its smaller, moro 
numeroiia cymes of rather larger but still very minnte flowers.
