A. abyssinica, (Hochst. PI. Schimp. exs. Sect. 3, n. 1813), 

 ramulis petiolisque molliter villosis, spinis brevibus conicis 

 tomentosis, pinnis 6-15-jugis, glandulis scutelteeformibus, 

 foliolis 20-30-jugis linearibus ciliato-puberulis, pedunculis 

 pubescentibus supra basin bracteatis capitulo paullo lon- 

 gioribus.. — Habitu A. tomentosce similis, sed foliola nume- 

 rosiora et pedunculi breviores et hue pertinere videntur 

 speciraina fructifera Ingts Nefasice, Hochst. PI. Schimp. Sect. 

 2, n. 940, quibus legumen fere A. wiphocarpce sed rectius et 

 crassius.— Abyssinia, Schimper. No. 382 of the 1st Section 

 referred to this plant by Hochstetter belongs to a very dif- 

 ferent species, at least in Sir W. Hooker's set, and is either 

 A. gummifera or a species very nearly allied to it.

 — var villosior, leguminibus puberulis demum crassioribus.

 Colla Mem. Tor. 35, p. 175. 



A. Natalitia, p. 502. — Port Natal, Krauss, n. 66. — This is 

 probably the same species as A. robusta, Burch., which being 

 the older name should be adopted. When in flower it is 

 difficult to distinguish the specimens from those of A. hor- 

 rida, but the broad pod is very different. It appears to 

 remain flat till ripe when it becomes thick and convex as in 

 Drege's specimens of A. clavigera, E. Mey.

A. albida, p. 505. — A. gyrocarpa, Hochst. PI. Schimp. 

 Abyss, exs. Sect. 2, n. 1333 is this species with the pod 

 curved into a complete spire. 



After A. detinens, p. 508, add the two following species : 



A. feroXy sp. n., ramulis junioribus petiolisque villosis, 

 aculeis geminis ternisve, infrastipularibus recurvis, infrafo- 

 liaceo minore v. nullo, petiolo aculeato, glandulis minutis, 

 pinnis 4-6-jugis, foliolis 3-6-jugis oblique obovato-oblongis
