Remarks= Mimosa palmeri Rose, fide R. C. Barneby, Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 65: 74. 1991. "Holotypus, GH" is an effective lectotypification as Robinson only states types at GH and US without specifying a holotype. As there are two sheets at GH, one in flower and one in fruit, a more definitive lectotypification may be warranted, especially as Robinson states that it is the fruits which distinguish his species, while Barneby notes floral characters.
