Nos. 140 and 169 of Wright^s Texan plants appear to me to be a variety of this species, with the 

 veins of the leaflets less prominent underneath^ and the pod altogether larger, and perhaps rather less 

 veined. They have certainly neither the larger flower-heads nor the conspicuous oblong petiolar gland 

 of D. Jamesii.

This seems to coimect the preceding with the following species. Mimosa pumila, Schlecht. in Linnaea, 

 xii. 557, from Regla, Ehrenberg, is probably, from the description, the same species, or one closely allied 

 to it.
