184 Plante Lindheimeriane. 
dris; leguminibus linearibus elongatis rectis v. rectiusculis 
acuminatis levibus 10 —920-spermis; seminibus rhombeo- 
orbiculatis. — Rocky soil, and on grassy slopes, near New 
Braunfels. August, chiefly in fruit. Also near Austin, 
Mr. Charles Wright. — A well marked species, which Scheele 
has described from some of the rather imperfect fruiting 
specimens gathered by Lindheimer in 1846, in which the 
legumes are sometimes only an inch and a half long, and a 
little faleate. But in better specimens, particularly in those 
of 1847, the pods are straight, from two to three inches long, 
often 20-seeded. The seeds are not obovate-elliptical, but 
roundish-obovate, or somewhat rhombic by mutual pressure. 
It is distinguished from all the species I am acquainted with 
by its downy stems and minute gland; from D. depressus by 
its pointed pods. — D. depressus, Kunth, is common at Key 
West and Cape Florida, and occasionally comes from Texas. 
There, however, a more common species is the allied D. 
acuminatus, Benth. in Jour. Bot. 4, p. 351, which is readily 
known by its shorter, falcate, and pointed pods. In culti- 
vation it is prostrate. D. reticulatus, Benth., has also been 
- received from Mr. Wright. 
386. D. snAcnvLosus, Benth. Mimosee, in Jour. Bot. 4. 
p.358. D. falcatus, Scheele in Linnea, 91, p. 455. Wet 
soil near Comale Creek, &c. May, in flower; August, in 
fruit. This does not grow in dry, rocky soil, nor the forego- 
ing in wet places, as is stated by Scheele, who has evidently 
transposed the tickets of these two plants. 
387. Acacia Remertana, Scheele in Linnea, 91. p. 456. 
Rocky soil, near San Antonio, and from New Braunfels to 
the Guadaloupe. April, in flower; June, in fruit (605). — 
This would appear to be the Linch Rameriana of ‘Scheele, 
said to have been gathered near Austin by Mr. Romer, except 
that the flowers are “ yellowish-white ” (Lindh.) instead of 
rose-color, and the leaves usually bear three pairs of pinne. 
` The leaflets, 4 to 5 lines long, are membranaceous in the flow- 
ering specimens, but firmer in those in fruit. The species be-
