Racemes scarcely exceeding the phyllodia or shorter, 

 comprising several small globular head's of about 8 to 12 flowers, mostly 

 3-nierous. Calyx short, broadly lobed. Petals smooth, separating nearly to 

 the base. Pod linear, very flat, 2 to 4 in. long, 4 to 6 lines broad and not 

 contracted between the seeds; valves thinly coriaceous, with nerve-like mar- 

 ?Bs. Seeds longitudinal, along the centre of 'the pod, the last fold of the funicle 

 jnickened into a club-shaped lateral aril, the other folds minute. — Mimosa
