Type material.

Mexico. Tamaulipas: vicinity of Victoria, E. Palmer 400 (holotype: NY [NY00005077]; isotypes: CM [CM1060], GH, MO [MO-356247], US [US00000993]).

Although the nom. nov. P.tamaulipana Burkart was required when Neltumapalmeri Britton & Rose was transferred to Prosopis because the name Prosopispalmeri S. Watson (= Strombocarpapalmeri (S.Watson) C.E. Hughes & G.P. Lewis) was already occupied, the original N.palmeri provides a valid accepted name.
