The section Stachyomima has the fruit of Bataucaulon, with 
a spicate inflorescence. No species belonging to it is men- 
tioned in the Prodromus, unless it be amongst the decandrous 
plants referred to Acacia. Ernest Meyer has, however, since 
described one among Drége's Cape plants, and I possess: 
about fifteen Brazilian species, including Blanchet’s Nos. 
2850, 2869, 2870, and 2912; and Gardner's 889, 1588, 2135, _ 
2136, and 2137.
