Urban, 1. ¢., (before the Vienna Congress) changed Bertero’s 
name for this species — as published by De Candolle, Mém. Lég. 
448 (1825) — on the ground that it is incorrect. It is to be re- 
tained, however, as first published, in accord with Art. 57 of the 
International Rules as adopted at Vienna. The species exhibits 
three rather interesting variations all based upon the degree, and 
positions of pubescence. The form first described (and this typical 
form, fortunately, is the most common) has glabrous or merely 
ciliate leaflets, glabrous calyx and densely pubescent corolla. The : 
pubescence in the var. pubescens extends to the calyx and both — 
sides of the leaflets. In the var. glabrata Griseb. even the corolla 
is glabrous. The var. minutifolia resembles the last except that 
the leaflets are usually more numerous and only 1-3 (rather than 
4-6) mm. long. che

“There i is a specimen in the Gray Herbarium of this much — 
plant secured Jan. 10, 1866 at Cuernavaca by Bilimek, whic - 
probably the earliest collection made of the species. I have ne : 
noticed that a plant has been named for Bilimek and it pare 
propriate that this Acacia should bear his name. His § ;
