9. Mimosa candollei R. Grether

Considered as M. quadrivalvis var. leptocarpa by Barneby (1991), but segregated as a distinct species by Grether (2000). None of the other infraspecific taxa assigned to M. quadrivalvis by Barneby (1991) occur in Bolivia. Mimosa candollei is a widespread and weedy ruderal along roadsides and in abandoned pastures across much of seasonally dry South America.
