48069. Acacia sp. Mimosacese. 



Sent in as Acacia bartheriana, for which a place of publication has 

 not been found. Miss Katherine Jones, in Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia 

 of Horticulture, vol. 1, p. 189, gives A. bartheriana Hort. as a synonym 

 for A. berteriana (?,), but our sample does not agree with the seeds of 

 this species. 



48070. Acacia sp. Mimosaceae. 



Sent in as Acacia donkelarii, for which a place of publication has not 

 been found. Miss Jones states, in Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of 

 Horticulture, vol. 1, p. 189, that A. donkelarii is a trade name for 

 Mimosa (?), but our sample does not agree with the seeds of this genus. 



48071. Acacia sp. Mimosaceaa. 



Sent in as Acacia hispida, for which a place of publication has not 

 been found. Miss Jones, in Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of Horticul-

 hispida, but our sample does not agree with the seeds of this species.
