42 ACAKIA. 



MIMOSA has pods multilocular by transverse

5. MIMOSA PUDICA L. which is said by Bar- 

 tram to grow spontaneous in Louisiana, deemed 

 a weed; but perhaps it is another Sp. see fl 

 Lud 445. 



6. MIMOSA CHIONACANTHA Raf. fl. lud. 331. 

 JMf. eburnea Robin. Perhaps not even a Mi- 

 mosa, altho' the fruit is similar ; but the flowers 

 are different. 



M. pudica typical Sp, has cal. trifid, no co- 

 rolla, 3 or 4 stamens; but this Sp. cal. and 

 corolla irregular, many stamens : therefore 

 type of another Genus EBURNAX, Raf. fruti- 

 cose cespitose aculeate, spines gemimate diver- 

 gent strait snowy lucid, heads of flowers glo- 

 bose, pods strait terete glutinose. Sandy 

 fields of Florida and Louisiana.

 MX. Acacia W &c. Pods strait. 



8. D. ILLINOENSIS Dec. Mimosa MX. Acacia 

 brachyloba W. Mg. &c. The Acacia mia- 

 mensis of Don & Mg. Cat, is perhaps this Sp. 

 also, and their A, divaricata of Carolina the 

 glandulosa ; both undescribed, but made out 

 distinctly by Mg. I found at the falls of the 

 Cumberland R. in Kentucky, one of these, but 

 without flower nor seed in September.
