Mimosa. POLYANDRIA MONOGYNIA/ ‘567 
white, subpedicelled corollets. | Calyx and Corol five- 
parted. Filaments numerous, monodelphous. — Legume 
large, articulate, compressed, much curved, often forming 
a circle, or more, as in M, dulcis, hard, dark brown or 
blackish, a little scabrous. Seeds round, —" 
smooth, brown. 
Note. It ought to be compared with Vabl’s M. nitida. 
I think his description agrees tolerably well with this 
plant, except in the stamina, his being polyandrous, 
mine most perfectly monodelphous, but if Willdenow is 
correct in his definition of the degume in his genus Acacia, 
this plant, which has a most perfectly articulate legume, + 
cannot be his Acacia nitida, ed. sp. 4. 1086. the only 
Species observed by me, which it resembles. Vahl is ~ 
silent about the legume. :
