NOTES ON MIMOSE. 93 
Leprieur and Perrottet. Heudelot, n. 800. Also in the West 
Indies, according to De Candolle, but I have not seen any 
specimens from thence. 
2. Z. fastigiata (E. Mey. Comm. Pl. Afr. austr. p. 165) 
ramulis petiolisque ferrugineo-tomentosis, pinnis 5-6-jugis, 
foliolis 8-15 jugis oblique trapezoideo-oblongis supra glabris 
subtus pubescentibus, ultimis minoribus.— Near Port Natal, 
Drége, and apparently the same species, Senegambia, Heu- 
delot, n. 16. 
Mimosa virgultosa, Vahl., referred to this genus by Walpers, 
is a species of Inga. Inga sassa, Willd. Sp. 4, p. 1027, is 
probably a third species of Zygia.
