This plant agrees better with the figure above quoted than 

 with the description. The foliage is beautifully silky, not 

 woolly; nor do I find the bracteas to be longer than the 

 flowers.

Mimosa sensitiva of Linn, is considered as a native of the 

 Eastern Coast of South America ; M. albida of Willd., of 

 the West. To me these species appear identical. The 

 pubescence on the foliage is unquestionably variable, and Mr. 

 Cruckshanks' specimens seem to unite the two, in having some 

 of the petioles aculeated and others unarmed.

Hab. /3. At Yazo, in the Valley of Canta. 



I am doubtful whether this ought not to rank as a 

 distinct species, from the copious, pedicellated, brown 

 glands, with which almost the whole plant is covered ; and 

 which do not exist in my cultivated specimens from the 

 Montpellier Garden, or those from the Andes of Chili, 

 both on the eastern and western side, gathered by Dr. Gillies, 

 or in others from Lima.
