ribus obtusis demum liberis vix corolle dimidium squantibus, legu- 
mine fuscescente coriaceo arcuato acuto subsessili marginato compresso 
venoso imperfecte oblique septato, seminibus nitenti-nigris ovato- 
rotundis leniter compressis areolam circularem utrinque gerentibus 
strophiolo bilobo pallido basi amplexis. 
Hab. In locis petrzis ad ortum fluvii Seven Emu River sinus Carpen- 
tarie. No. 41. 
Frutex 2-5'. Phyllodia rigidula 1-14" longa, 13-21"' lata. Pedunculi 
erassiusculi. Flores glutinosi 1'" paulo excedentes, Legumina 1-2" 
longa, circiter 2" lata. Semina lj" longa. 
[Closely allied to A. cochlearis, Labill. The phyllodia are rather 
thicker; the nerves, especially the lateral ones, less distinct ; the minute 
brown stipules are broader, and the pod broader, thicker, with a more 
thickened margin, and much curved, that of 4. cochlearis being nearly 
straight.—G. B.]

Ad sinus St. Vincent's Gulf and Spencer's Gulf. 
Legumen arcuatum v. cyclicum tenui-coriaceum 1-1j" longum, circiter 
2"" latum, extus sordide fuscum, intus continuum sessile acuminatum.

dentia strophiolo cymbiformi fuscescente preedita. 
12. ACACIA SICULAEFORMIS (Cunn.; Benth. in Lond. Journ. Bot. i. 
p. 337.—Acacia patens, F. Muell. MSS.). Glabra, erecta, ramulis 
teretiuseulis, phyllodiis reverso-patentibus coriaceis angusto- et oblique 
lanceolatis basi angustatis apice acutis mucronatis uninerviis indistincte 
venulosis prope basin et juxta medium obscure glanduligeris, stipulis 
minutis agglutinatis lanceolato-subulatis, pedunculis axillaribus soli- 
tariis phyllodia paulo superantibus monocephalis, capitulis globosis 
multifloris, leguminibus chartaceis linearibus rectis compressis enerviis 
spadiceis gracili-stipitatis intus continuis ad suturas flexuosis, semini- 
bus ovatis leniter compressis minutissime strophiolatis obscure fuscis 
nitidis. 
Ad rivos Hooker's et Sturt’s Creek. No. 4. 
Phyllodia 4-10"" longa, 1-12" lata. Flores evoluti desunt. Legumina 
1-1}'" longa et totidem lineas lata tenuiter marginata. Semina 1" 
paulo excedentia. 
. 4. diffuse proxima. 
Alteram hujus sectionis speciem tropicam et probabiliter А. siculeformi 
proximam absque floribus fructibusque vidi in montibus inter flumen 
Suttor et planitiem Peak Downs sitis. 
[ F. Mueller's specimens of A. patens appear to agree in every respect 
with the original ones of 4. siculeformis.—G. B.]
