Jussieu has remarked, that the numerous fpecies of Mimofa 

 mult hereafter be divided into diliincl genera, according to 

 the number of their ftamens and the form of their feed-pod. 

 Willdenow, by reftoring Tourn efort's Acacia and Plu- 

 wier's Inga, has done this in part. But his diviiion appear- 

 ing to us inefficient, we prefer the continuing to give the 

 fpecies, as they may occur, under Mimofa, until forne Botanift 

 fhall have made a fcientific arrangement of the whole, as the 

 only way to avoid the frequent changing of names. 



When planted in the border of the conservatory, this makes 

 a very elegant tree, with long pendent branches, thickly clothed 

 with a beatiful foliage, and covered in the fpring with a pro 

 fufton of fragrant flowers. Altogether, it is one of the greateft 

 ornaments of the greenhoufe; but being difficultly propagated, 

 except by feeds, which it will not produce in this country, it 

 is not likely to become very common. Native of New South- 

 Wales. Our drawing was made at Meffrs. Lee and Ken- 

 nedy's nurfery at Hammerfmith.
