Fiji Islands. 



So far as flowering specimens go, we can detect no differences 

 between the Fiji and Formosa plants. The leaves (phyllodes) 

 exhibit the same variations in both countries. There is one im- 

 perfect pod in the Kew Herbarium from Fiji, but none from 

 Formosa. Ford notes that be was informed by a native of For- 

 mosa that it grows to an enormous size in the mountains of the 

 aborigines' country.
