Species novae in Horto Botanico Sydneyano (II). i 83 
heads. Calyx sparingly hairy, with acuminate lobes rather shorter than 
the tube, the upper ones united higher up; bracteoles small, linear- 
subulate, hairy like the calyx, attached high up on the calyx-tube. 
Ovarium sessile, densely pubescent with appressed hairs; style slender, 
hairy in the lower part. Standard broader than long, orange-coloured, 
marked. with reddish-brown; keel dark brown, rather shorter than the 
standard, the wings orange, about as long as the keel. Fruits and seeds 
not seen. 
New South Wales: Warialda (J. L. Boorman; July 1905). 
In systematic position it should be placed near P. Hartmanni F. v. M., 
a species with which it has most essential characters in common, and 
from which it is yet widely different in appearance. 
12. Acacia doratoxylon A. Cunn. var. ovata Maiden et Betche, l. c., 
p. 362. 
A low spreading shrub not exceeding 2 feet in height, with densely 
intricate branches. Flowers in short ovate heads, often almost globular, 
rarely in short but distinctly cylindrical spikes. Seeds shorter than in 
the typical A. doratoxylon, and with a more compact arillus. All other 
characters are those of the type.

13. Acacia Gnidium Benth. var. latifolia Maiden and Betche, |, c., 
p. 362. 
A. viscid shrub locally known as „Motherumbung“, distinguished 
from the type only in the broader phyllodia, Leaves narrow-lanceolate, 
from under 1 to 2 inches long, and 2 lines broad in the broadest part. 
A. Gnidiwm is an imperfectly known plant, only known from Mitchell's 
specimens from Mt. Pluto in Queensland, and also Bidwills No. 19 in 
the Hookerian Herbarium, Kew. It is, perhaps, hardly a good species, 
unless the unknown fruits supply a better distinetive character. Bentham 
writes in the Flora Australiensis in a footnote to his description of 
A. Gnidium, — „The nearest affinity appears to be A. dodonoeifolia, from 
which our specimens chiefly differ in the very narrow phyllodia*. Mr. 
Cambadge's Gilgandra specimens tend to bring out this affinity still 
closer, so that we were in some doubt whether to regard it às a small 
and narrow-leaved form of A. dodonaeifolia or as a broad-leaved form of 
A. Gnidium, but it has the slender habit and small flowers of the latter. 
The fruits are still unknown.

14. Kunzea bracteolata Maiden et Betche, l. c., p. 363. 
An erect, rather stiff shrub about 3 to 4 feet high, glabrous in all 
its parts except a slight pubescenee on the young branches. Leaves 
alternate, very shortly petiolate, linear-lanceolate, 4 to 5 lines long, acute, 
flat but somewhat concave, erect and almost imbricately crowded on the
