Mimosa retusa Jacq., Enum. Syst. Pl. pl. 34 (1760)
Name Status. Unresolved Name
Notes. The identity of this entity is uncertain; see note by Seigler et al. (2006: 67) regarding possible type and application of this name, i.e.: "The original description (Jacquin 1760) indicates that only a leaf fragment was used to describe this species. This fragment is probably a specimen at BM. According to Rudd (1976), a fruit was formerly associated with the specimen and the fruit is mentioned in a later description (Jacquin 1763). The specimen at BM came from Cartagena, Colombia. Neither description (Jacquin 1760, 1763) is adequate to identify the species being described. With the materials available, we are unable to determine the status of the specimen from BM. In the future, if adequate type material is located and this taxon is judged conspecific with Senegalia riparia, the name Mimosa retusa Jacq. will replace Acacia riparia Kunth as the basionym for this species.".
