240 LEGUMINOSZ. 
Souta Mexico, Real del Monte (Coulter, 537), Cuantepec (Bourgeau, 1054; Tate, 
without locality). Hb. Kew. | 
Berlandier’s no, 2053, from Texas, is probably the same species; but the specimens 
at Kew are in a very young state. | | 
In habit this species approaches D. brachystachys and D. polygonoides, A. Gray ; but 
both of these species are conspicuously glandular, independently of other differences. 
Possibly it may be the same as D. inconspicua, Schauer, of which we have seen no 
specimens.
