254 Dr. Smitu’s Account of Plants, Be. 
indebted to the fouthern hemifphere, all which have totally 
different leaves in their adult ftate from what they produce at 
firft fpringing out of the ground. The feedling plants bear 
conjugated pinnated leaves, like moft of this genus; but the 
common footftalks of the fucceeding leaves being gradually 
dilated, at length lofe their foliola, and affume the appearance 
of fimple entire leaves; nor does the tree afterwards produce 
any other. We have no defcription of the feedling leaves of 
Mimofa fimplicifolia (Linn. Suppl.), but it is probable they alfo are 
at firft of the pinnated kind. |.» ss,
