attention to the fact that DeCandolle treated these ola as 
stituting only a section of Desmanthus their name has been 
glected ever since publication although it is the first generic na 
for the group since the Florae Senegambiae appeared in 1883, a 
tions of which the following may be made now.

Bentham, Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx. 633 (1875), included M 10 
glomerata Forsk. in his list of species unrecognizable from dese " 
tion. But notwithstanding Forskal’s meager characterization | 
his plant it is obvious that he was naming the species later know 
as Dichrostachys nutans since this is the only member of t 
mosidiae growning in Arabia which has “ Folia bipinnata ~ 
“Legumen nigrum contorto-globosum.” Schweinfurth, 
Herb. Boiss. iv. App. 2. 218 (1896), has referred Mimosa glo 
Forsk. here without question.
