87 Prosopis juliflora constricta Sargent is a shrub known now only near Shreveport, Caddo Parish, La. 



88 Britton and Shafer (op. cit., 531) have taken up for this species the name Stroynbocarpa odorata (Torrey) 

 A. Gray, based either on Strombocarpa odorata Torrey (1853) or on Prosopis odorata Torrey (in Fremont's 

 Rept., 1845). The genus Strombocarpa A. Gray (1845) is commonly treated as a synonym of Prosopis 

 Linnaeus (1767).
