(a) was introduced by Sir Joseph Banks in 1790; but 

 we are not informed concerning the date of the introduction 

 of (/3). The drawing was taken from a sample sent from 

 Lord Bridgewater's collection in February last. We should 

 have thought that the Acacia moll'mima of Willdenow's 

 Enumeratio Horti Berolinensis was intended for this plant, 

 had not the leaflets in that been described as 1 l-15~paired. 

 Requires the protection of the greenhouse, and is well 

 adapted to the conservatory. Far from common in our col- 

 lections. 



Younger branches angular, grey- furred. Leave,? doubly 

 pinnate, very soft, cinereously glaucous, somewhere about 

 six inches long and about three in breadth: partial ones 

 11-15-18-paired; leaflets many-(40-60) paired, small, ob~ 

 longly linear, scarcely two lines in length, narrow, ob- 

 tuse, touching each other: general petiole white-furred, 

 round, at the upper side having a prominent glanduli- 

 Ferous ridge running along its whole length, with a round- 

 ish perforated gland between the bases of each pair of 

 partial footstalks. Spikelet-bearing racemes axillary and 

 simple or terminal and panicled; peduncle flexuose, grey- 

 furred; spikelets globular, numerous (20-30), yellow, about 

 as big as a pea, placed rather distantly; pedicles about the 

 length of the diameter of the spikelet, pale yellow : bractes 

 single, minute, membranous, subovate, convex, villous, 

 many times shorter than the pedicle against which they are! 

 closely pressed. The flowers diffuse a bitterish but not un- 

 pleasant scent. 



NOTE. 



In the first page of fol. 361 ( Acacia lophantaj, from the words " What 

 are termed, &c. &c." belongs to the subsequent article (fol. 362, Acacia 

 tflngifolia), and has been accidentally misplaced.
