Acacia greggii, Gray. Texas Mimosa. Sometimes a tree 20 ft. high, but usually a shrub of 4-5 ft., growing in thickets along river banks: compound lvs. 1 in. long, pubescent; pinnae 2-3 pairs (occasionally reduced to 1 pair), 1/2-3/4in. long; lfts. 4-7 pairs (usually 5), oblong, pubescent and 2-nerved: spikes cream-yellow, 1 1/4-2 1/4 in. long, including the peduncles, which are half the length of spikes; petals and sepals greenish, 5-merous; sepals united and half as long as petals: pods much bent and twisted, nerve-like margins and more or less constricted between the seeds, 1 l/2—4 or more in. long, about 3/4in. wide; seed 1/3in. long, 1/4in. wide with an arrow-shaped depression in the center; funicle filiform its entire length. Fls. Aug., Sept. In dry or rocky places in Texas and N. Mex. and S. Known as Devil's Claws and Catsclaw from the short curved, spines; also as Paradise Flower.
