NOTES ON MiMOSE. 509 
283. A. hamulosa (sp. n?) glabra, cinerascens, subglauca, 
aculeis ternis, infrastipularibus geminis rectis, infrafoliaceo re- 
curvo, petiolo aculeato, pinnis 2-3-jugis, foliolis 3-5-jugis 
oblique oblongis obtusissimis, spicis axillaribus laxis folio 
brevioribus, calyce dimidio corolla longiore, legumine late 
oblongo-lineari tenuissimo membranaceo glabro indehiscente. 
Hills near Gedda, in Arabia, S. Fischer, n. 72.—I have also 
à specimen amongst Tweedie’s Patagonian plants, but pro- 
bably from some garden at Buenos Ayres. 
The A. Senegal (Willd. Spec. iv. 1077), excluding some of 
his synonyms; and A. Asak (Willd. 1. c.), are evidently 
near A. hamulosa and A. Verek, and perhaps identical with 
the one or the other, but the descriptions are too imperfect 
to determine them, and them is evident that several plants 
have been confounded together under A. Senegal. 
284. A. Verek (Guillem. et Perrot. Fl. Seneg. i. 245. t. 56), 
ramis glabris cinerascentibus, aculeis subternis infra- 
stipularibus geminis subincurvis, infrafoliaceo recurvo, petiolo 
inermi pubescente, pinnis 3-5-jugis, foliolis 10-15-jugis 
linearibus obtusis subglaucis glabris v. subtus pilosulis, 
Spicis axillaribus laxis folio duplo longioribus, calyce dimidio 
corolke sublongiore, legumine late lineare tenuissime mem- 
branaceo minute puberulo indehiscente.—Senegal, Perrottet, 
Heudelot, Brunner, n. 9.—1In the Flora Senegambie, above 
quoted, will be found much valuable information respecting 
this and other Gum Acacias. 
* * Legumine subcoriaceo bivalvi. 
285. 4. Caffra (Willd. Spec. iv. 1078), subglabra, ramulis 
fuscis, aculeis infrastipularibus geminis recurvis nullisve, 
pinnis 8-12-jugis, petiolo inermi, foliolis 15-30-jugis lineari- 
bus glabris v. subtus minute puberulis, calyce corolla parum. 
breviore, legumine lineari plano bivalvi.—4. fallaz E. Mey. 
Comm. Pl. Af. Austr. 169.— Common in the western portion 
of the Cape Colony, from Uitenhage to Port Natal. This. 
met and the three following, are closely allied to each 
other.
