406 BFNTHAM ON MIMOSEJE. 



165. M.foliolosa (sp. n.), pilis tenuibus patenlibus sub- 

 ferrugineis piibe brevi pilisque glaiiduliferis intermixtis, 

 pinnis 20 — 35-jugis, foliolis parvis oblongis obtusis utrin- 

 que pubescentibus, racemo folia superante, capitulis birsu- 

 tis, bracteolis corolla brevioribus, calyce minuto ciliato. — 

 Raniuli tenuiores quam in priEcedentibus. Pili basi non 

 incrassali. Pubes foliolorum brevis, patens. Pinnae rarius 

 poUicem longse. Foliola numerosa imbricata 1-lin. longa. 

 Capitula 3 — 4-lin. longa. Corollse viliosae. — Brazil, Pohl. 



^. pubescens, pilis ferrugineis raris. — Brazil, Pohl. 



166. M. plati/loma (sp. n.), pilis patentibus rufis densis, 

 pinnis 10 — 16-jugis, foliolis parvis oblongo-linearibus ob- 

 tusis supra glabris subtus hirsutis ciliatis, racemo abbreviato, 

 capitulis hirsutis ?, bracteolis setosissimis corollas sequanti- 

 bus ?, calyce minuto ciliato, legumine oblongo crasso undique 

 ferrugineo-hirto, margine latissimo. — Brazil, Sello. — Perhaps 

 a variety of M.foliolosa, but as far as I can judge from the 

 specimens in flower in the one case, in fruit only with a few 

 old withered flowers in the other, the two appear to me to 

 be distinct. 



167. M. pachycarpa (sp. n.), caule petioHsque pube ferru- 

 ginea scabris, setis subnullis, pinnis 10 — 20-jugis linearibus 

 obtusis glabris nudis, pedunculis axillaribus folio brevioribus 

 (superioribus racemosis?), legumine oblongo crasso undique 

 verrucoso, margine lato. — Brazil, Sello. — Near to 31. vernicosa 

 on the one hand, and to M. plafyloma on the other. I have 

 only seen it in fruit. 



§ 3. Stipellares. Frutices divaricato-ramosi, glabri v. canes- 

 centi-pubescentes nee setosi, sparse aculeati v. rarius inermes. 

 Pinnae pauci-rarius multijugae. Stipeliae ad basin petio- 

 lorum minimaB orbiculatse, nee ut in caeteris Mimesis 

 setaceas vel setaceo-acuminatse. Pedunculi axillares. 

 Capitula globosa. Flores tetrameri. Calyces parvi non 

 ciliati. Legumen planum, glabrum pubescens v. tuber- 

 culatum, nee setosum nee aculeatum, margine carti- 

 iagineo.
