594 NOTES ON MIMOSEZ. 
oblongis obtusiusculis supra glabris v. minute puberulis, 
subtus adpresse pilosis, capitulis ovoideo-oblongis, pedunculis 
axillaribus folio pluries brevioribus, floribus breviter pedi- 
cellatis glabris, legumine villoso.—Foliola 3-4 lin. longa, 
crassiuscula, inferiora cujusve pinne minora. Pedunculi 
solitarii v. gemini vix unquam pollicares. Capitulum ante 
anthesin oblongum, per anthesin sepius ovoideum v. sub- 
globosum.—A. lophanthoides, DC. Prod. ii. 457.—.4. carbo- 
naria, Schlecht. Linnea, xii. 571.—Jamaica, Houstoun, 
Wright, &c.; Vera Cruz, Schiede ; Xalapa, Galeotti; Gulf of 
Honda, Central America, Hinds. 
The Mimosa arborea Linn. according to the specimen in 
his herbarium, which answers to his description, is the same 
species, but many of the synonyms quoted by him, and the 
Acacia arborea of many modern authors, are referable to 
the Albizzia Julibrissin. 
331. A. umbellulifera (Kunth Mim. 100. t. 31), appears 
to be very near to A. villosa, and A. filicina, but with longer 
pedicels than either, and intermediate between the two 
in respect of general inflorescence. Humboldt and Bonpland 
gathered it near the town of Mexico.— 4. stipellata, Schlecht. 
Linnea, xii. 574, from the same locality, is probably the 
same species. 
332. A. filicina (Willd. Spec. iv. 1072), ramulis petiolis 
peduneulisque piloso-hirtis, pinnis 5-6-jugis, foliolis 40-60- 
jugis oblique linearibus acutiusculis glabris ciliolatis, capitu- 
lis globosis paucifloris paniculatis, floribus breviter pedicel- 
latis glabris.—Pili patentes rariores quam in A. villosa. 
Foliola 2 lin. longa. Pedunculi fasciculati, sesquipollicares, 
inferiores axillares, superiores in paniculam aphyllam dis- 
positi. Capitula vix 20-flora.—Said to be from Mexico; I 
have only seen cultivated specimens. 
333. A. hirsuta (Schlecht. Linnea xii, 572), ramulis 
petiolis pedunculisque molliter hirsutis, pinnis 11-15-jugis, 
foliolis 40-60-jugis oblique linearibus acutiusculis glabris 
ciliolatis, capitulis globosis paucifloris ample paniculatis, 
foribus breviter pedicellatis.—.4. filicina, Cham. et Schl.
