273 NOTES ON MIMOSE. 
brevi dentato, legumine anguste lineari subtereti.—Inter 
A. floribunda et A. mucronata media. Phyllodia quam in 
priore obtusiora, rigidiora, pleraque 3-4-pollicaria ; latiora, 
longiora et tenuiora quam in 4. mucronata. Spice et flores 
A. floribunde. Legumina longa subtorulosa.—V. Diemen's 
Land, Gunn, n. 802. This and the four following species, 
however different in their extreme forms, run much into one 
another, and are difficult to define with precision. 
170. A. mucronata (Willd. Enum. Suppl. 68), glabra v. 
junior puberula, ramulis vix angulatis, phyllodiis anguste 
lineari-spathulatis obtusis basi angustatis coriaceis striato- 
trinerviis vix venosis, spicis interruptis phyllodio breviori- 
bus, calyce brevi dentato, legumine anguste lineari subtereti. 
—Wendl. Diss. t. 12.—Bot. Mag. t. 2747.—Phyllodia ple- 
raque 11-21 poll. longa, 1-2 lin. lata. Spice pollicares. 
Legumen 3-5-pollicare, utrinque acutum, marginatum, sub- 
torulosum.—V. Diemen's Land, Gunn, n. 130. 
171. A. dependens (Cunn. MSS.), glabra v. junior pu- 
bescens, ramulis vix angulatis, phyllodiis anguste oblongis V. 
late lineari-spathulatis obtusis submucronatis basi angustatis 
coriaceis multinerviis vix reticulatis, spicis interruptis phyl- 
lodio brevioribus, calyce brevi dentato, legumine anguste 
lineari subtereti.— Ab A. mucronata, cujus forte mera varietas, 
differt precipue phyllodiis latioribus, ab A. Sophore phyllo- 
diis angustioribus raro anastomosantibus.—V. Diemen’s 
Land, Cunningham, Gunn, n. 202, 480, 678. 
172. A. Sophore (Br. in Hort. Kew, ed. 3, v. 462) 
glabra v. junior puberula, ramulis angulatis, phyllodiis obo- 
vato-oblongis obtusis calloso-mucronatis basi cuneatis coria- 
ceis 3-5-nerviis reticulato-venosis, spicis interruptis phyllodio 
brevioribus, calyce brevi dentato, legumine anguste lineari 
subtereti arcuato.— Labill. Nov. Holl. t. 237.—Bot. Cab. 
t. 1351.—Ramuli crassiores quam in precedentibus. Phyl- 
lodia pleraque bipollicaria, 8-12 lin. lata, interdum vero occur- 
runt forme phyllodiis longioribus fere A. longifolie. Calyx 
paullo major quam in affinibus. Legumen valde arcuatum 
nec ut in affinibus rectum.—V. Diemen's Land, Labillardiere,
