Desmanthus, Hook. Journ. 4, p. 356. 



D. virgatus, p. 357. — Rio Teapa, South Mexico, Linden,

D. depressus, p. 357. — D. pratorum, Macfad. Fl. Jam. 1,

After D. acuminatus, p. 357, add. 



D. incurvus, sp. n. ; diffusus, glabriusculis, pinnis 2-5- 

 jugis, foliolis 10-15-jugis, glandula parva v. deficiente, legu- 

 minibus falcatis hirtellis 6-8-spermis, seminibus ovatis.— 

 Habitus D. depressi sed legumen inter ilia D. depressi et 

 D. brachylobi medium. Differt insupera D. acuminato, legu- 

 mine latiore breviore minus acuminato et pilis brevibus 

 consperso. Semina nunquam vidi plus quam 8 et leguminis 

 valvse inter semina obscura transverse lineata. ■ — Mexico 

 between Real del Monte and Zacatecas, Coulter. 



Mimosa pumila, Schlecht. Linnsea, 12, p. 557 is probably a 

 Desmanthus and from the description would appear to differ 

 only from D. incurvus in the breadth of the pod, which is 

 stated to be 3 lines instead of 2 as in D. incurvus.
