86 NOTES ON MIMOSE^E. 



M. schrankioides, sp. n. ; aculeis uncinates retrorsis nu- 

 merosis, ramis striatis petiolisque hirsutis, stipulis subulatis, 

 pinnis petiolo ssepius longioribus, foliolis 12-20-jugis oblongo- 

 linearibus acutiusculis tenuiter marginatis ciliatis utrinque 

 molliter adpresse villosis, bracteolis corolla subbrevioribus, 

 calyce minuto longe ciliato, leguminibus dense setoso-hispidis. 

 Rami adsunt elongati, striis aculeisque Schranckiam refe- 

 rentes. Petioli communes sesquipollicares, uti partiales 

 aculeati. Foliola semipollicaria v. paullo longiora, preesertim 

 subtus villosa. Pedunculi in racemum terminalum dispositi, 

 \- 1 -pollicares. Capitula parva. Bracteolee longe ciliatse. 

 Corollae tenues, vix lineam longae. Stamina 4. Ovarium 

 subsessile, villosulum. Legumina juniora setis densissime 

 obtecta, sed formam nondum ostendunt.— -British Guiana, 

 Schomburgk, 2nd. Coll. n. 470 (765). Allied to M. retrorsa. 



M.pudica, p. 367. — M. striatostipula, Steud. Flora, 1843, 

 p. 758. — Java, Zollinger, n. 263; Surinam, Hostmann, n. 6275 

 British Guiana, SchomburgTc, 2nd. Coll. n. 508 (788). The 

 latter is a slender form, smoother than usual and with smaller 

 leaflets and pods, but not otherwise differing from the 

 species which is very variable. It is probably this form that 

 Martius designated as M. Endymionis. 



M. polydactyla, p. 367.— M. Glockeri, Meisn. PI. Glock. 

 exs. n. 177. 



M. dispersa, p. 369, is the same plant as M. hirsuta, Spr. 

 Syst. 2, p. 204, which latter name must be substituted for 

 mine. It was gathered by Riedel at Cujaba and Camapua. 



M. marginata, p. 37 1 . — Maldonado, Rio Plata, Anderson. 



M. hirsutissima, p. 378, suffruticosa, inermis, caule erecto 

 subsimplici setis patentibus hirsutissimo, pinnis unijugis 

 subsessilibus, foliolis 15-25-jugis lineari-oblongis acutiusculis 

 supra glabris subtus setosis, racemo terminali foliato, capi- 

 tulis pedunculatis ovatis, bracteolis corolla subbrevioribus 

 pilosissimis. — St. Paul, Riedel (Herb. Acad. Petrop.) 



M. subsericea, p. 380, var minus setosa, pinnis brevioribus, 

 St. Paul, Riedel.
