Dialium" (figs. 114-119) must also be referred to Cassiea, though its flower is yet more reduced than in Bistemonanihiis and Apuleia, as it may consist of only a calyx of five imbricated sepals, two lateral stamens^ and a carpel. The receptacle is somewhat variable in form. In certain species it is regular or nearly so, forming a Dialium (^Codarium) niiidum,*. Fia. 113.
