Krauss.—Our Indian, Arabian, and Egyptian specimens 
differ from those from Natal in their branches being long 
and slender, covered with a shorter and early disappearing 
tomentum, and much weaker spines. We, therefore, sus- 
pect that Dr. Meyer's plant, to which ours undoubtedly 
belongs, is either a peculiar species, or perhaps should be re- 
ferred to A. hebeclada, DC. 1. c. n. 136, which, indeed, seems 
scarcely to differ, except in the lesser number (3-5) of pinne.

From 4. pennata, Willd. this differs in the much less 
numerous pinne and folioles, in the form of the latter, etc. 
The length ‘of the general petiole scarcely exceeds 15 inches, 
that of the partial ones is about 1 inch, and the folioles are 
4-5 lines long, and nearly 2 lines broad. The prickles a
