NOTES ON MIMOSEZ. 615 
alatus. Glandule scutelleformes. Ramuli, petioli, pedun- 
culi et nervi foliolorum in omnibus pube ferruginea, brevi v. 
velutina, vestiti.—The species of this series are all very much 
alike in foliage, and the characters derived from the inflores- 
cence, the form and length of the calyx, &c., are often 
scarcely tangible, yet the pods are frequently so very dissi- 
milar that where they are not known, I have" been afraid to 
unite plants under one species in cases where the differences 
appear but very slight. 
*Calyce sessili tubuloso v. turbinato-tubuloso, 5-7 lin., rarius 
4 lin. longo. 
110. I. vera (Willd. Spec. 4, p. 1010), pube tenui, foliolis 
4-5 jugis obovali-v. elliptico-oblongis acuminatis, spicis ob- 
longis v. interruptis paucifloris, bracteis parvis ovatis, calyce 
tubuloso ad duas tertias corolle attingente, legumine tereti 
sulcato.—Foliola quam in affinibus tenuiora, majora 4-5 poll. 
longa, 2 poll.lata, pube brevissima scabriuscula, supra niti- 
dula. Calyces 6-7 lin. longi. Corolla fere 9 lin. longa.— 
Jamaica, Wright, Purdie; Haiti, Ehrenberg. This is, accord- 
ing to Vogel, the species preserved in Willdenow’s herba- 
rium, and supposed by him to be the Mimosa Inga of Lin- 
nsus, but itis probable that Linnæus included under that 
name all those of this series which were known to him. | 
111. I. eriocarpa, pube ferruginea densa, foliolis 5-jugis 
obovali-v. elliptico-oblongis vix acuminatis, spicis interrup- 
tis paucifloris, bracteis parvis ovatis, calyce amplo tubuloso 
ad duas tertias corollæ attingente, legumine subtereti sulcato 
. dense tomentoso.— Vix I. vere varietas, etsi forma foliolorum 
similis.  Foliola demum  subcoriacea, utrinque velutino- 
pubescentia. Flores magnitudine I. vere, sed crassiores.— 
Mexico, between San Blas and Guadalaxara, Coulter. 
112. I. spuria (Willd. ? Spec. 4, p. 1011), pube ferruginea 
densa, foliolis 5-6-jugis oblongis acuminatis supra brevissime 
pubescentibus subtus hirtellis, spicis oblongis v. interruptis 
paucifloris, bracteis linearibus caducissimis, calyce tubuloso 
quam dimidium corolla npo legume tereti sulcato.
