28. Acacia Mackeyana Ewart and White, l. c., p. 6, pl. III, IV. (Legu- 
minosae,) — Branches minutely pubescent. Phyllodia shortly petiolate, 
about 1 cm in length, pungent, pointed, terete, with from 16 to 20 longi- 
tudinal striae, pale green, rigid, 1—2 mm in diameter, fairly numerous, 
alternate, glabrous; stipules, if present, deciduous, Flowers grouped into 
small heads with about 19 to 20 on each head, the peduncles average 
5 mm in length, the heads usually solitary. Five sepals, free except at 
the extreme base, each sepal has a distinct stalk and lamina, both pro- 
vided with simple transparent hairs, yellow. There are generally 2 
larger and 3 smaller sepals to each flower, nearly as long as the petals. 
Corolla of 5 petals, which are membranous and deep yellow in colour, 
with a fairly prominent midrib, united for about three-quarters of their 
length. Stamens very numerous, free except at the extreme base, anthers 
two-celled. — Legume usually curved sharply at the base so as to form 
various shapes, about 1 to 2 cm long in these specimens, stalked, dark 
brown and rather rigid, slightly compressed and sparsely provided with 
hairs, which are more abundant atthe tip. Fully ripe fruit not seen. — 
The plant bears some resemblance to a specimen of „A. aciphylla“ 
(Planta Preissiana, 976) placed under A. campylophylla, but the specimen
