This plant agrees better with the figure above quoted than 
with the description. The foliage is beautifully silky, not 
woolly; nor do I find the bracteas to be longer than the 
flowers. n

Mimosa sensitiva of Linn. is considered as a native of the 
Eastern Coast of South America; M. albida of Willd., of 
the West. To me these species appear identical. The 
pubescence on the foliage is unquestionably variable, and Mr. 
Cruckshanks’ specimens seem to unite the two, in having some 
of the petioles aculeated and others unarmed.

I am doubtful whether this ought not to rank asa 
distinct species, from the copious, pedicellated, brown 
glands, with which almost the whole plant is covered; and 
which do not exist in my cultivated specimens from the 
Montpellier Garden, or those from the Andes of Chili, 
both on the eastern and western side, gathered by Dr. Gillies, 
or in others from Lima.
