MR. G. BENTHAM ON THE MIMOSE^. 647 



Acacice of Africa, as weU as to some of the Australian PhyUodinea. Pig. 21 is very Hke 

 the pod of several AcacicB of the group Vulgares, which,, when rotting, often break up 

 irregularly, as shown in the drawing. Both are very unlike any J/«mosa-pods known 

 to me. In this genus the lines separating the articles of the valve are always quite 

 straight, and at right angles to the margin. Pigs. 8 and 9, referred to Acacia, arc more 

 like the pods of some species of Cassia. Pigs. 23 and 24 may represent Alhlzzia-^ods. 

 Fig. 22 may be an Entada, as determined, though not any recent species ; but it is also 

 nearly as much like some Ormosia pods. Both these genera are still represonted

Macfadyen's detailed description is totally at variance with that tree, and agrees wcU with Piptadeiw 

 peregrina, to which also belongs the synonym he quotes, Acacia angustihha, DC. 



P. 400, Mimosa marginata. 



Mimosa prostrata of the Berlin gardens has been now described as new by Kegel in Dcscr. PI. Nov. u 

 21 (from the Memoirs (Trudi) of the Imp. Bot. Card. St. Petersb.) , without comparing it with the M. mcrr 

 ginata, and wrongly referring it to the Casta.
