 might be miatak 1 for a smaller form of Parry's 79.* 20- My< Rua mini-

 these are all forms of one species. ^). Syshibrium Sophia, L. (including S. 

 canescens, Nutt.), both asmoothish form, with short pedicels and short pods, 

 (5. brae a pum, Richards.), and also with slender pods, and the whole
