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.
In the following supplementary list, the heights given are those attained by the plants under glass in N. Eu.; in the open air in the S. W. U. S. they often grow much taller, and sometimes flower 2 months earlier. Except when otherwise stated, the fls. arc yellow. Those marked (*) are considered most desirable. Those marked "stove" need hothouse treatment; the others can be grown in a cool- house, or in the open in Calif.
