 tlie Mexican species with which I am familiar. A vine 6 to 9 meters 

 long; only in fruit. May 3 to 25 (Ko. 4300). 



Acacia sp. 



This appears to be an undescribed species, of which I collected 

 specimens on the mainland. May 3 to 25 (No. 4188). 



Albizzia occidentalis Brandegee. 



Probably the above species, which is found in Lower California and 

 has been reported from western Mexico. May 3 to 25 (No. 4252).

 reported from tropical Africa. May 3 to 25 (JSTo. 4220).

 species is not represented in the National Herbarium. May 3 to 25

 species. This form is common on the west coast of Mexico and Central 

 America. May 3 to 25 (Nos. 4270 and 4308).
