5. Acacia accola J. H. Maiden et E. Betche, L c., p. 734. 
An erect, glabrous, tall, bushy shrub about 6—8 feet high, with 
compressed angular young branches. Phyllodia linear, slightly curved 
or occasionally nearly straight, generally 3 to nearly 5 inches long, and 
about 1 line broad, obtuse but usually with a hooked point, 1-veined, the 
lateral veins concealed in the tissue; marginal glands 1 or 2, below the 
middle of the phyllodia or 1 above the middle, mostly very prominent, 
rarely absent. Inflorescence a slender raceme, about 1!/, to 2 inches 
long with about 9 or 10 flower-heads on slender short peduncles, each 
flower-head containing 10—20 flowers. Calyx (in the fully opened flower) 
5-lobed, with spathulate lobes thickened at the top. Petals free, rather 
narrow, twice as long as the calyx, quite glabrous as well as the ovary. 
Pods of waxy lustre, linear, flat, slightly curved, generally about 3 to 
4 inches long and !/, inch broad, but occasionally attaining nearly 
6 inches in length, not or only rarely contracted between the seeds, with 
slightly thickened margins. Seeds longitudinally placed along the centre 
of the pod, the funicle thickened under the seed but not folded. 
New South Wales: Wallangarra (Jennings), on the Queensland 
border, on granite hills; in fruit, December, 1903, in flower, July, 1904 
(J. H. Maiden and J, L. Boorman); Mt. Dangar, Gungal (J. L. Boor- 
man; September, 1904); Stanthorpe, Q. (J. L. Boorman; November, 1904). 
It is most nearly allied to A. neriifolia A. Cunn., from which it 
differs in its narrower phyllodes, less numerous flowers in the heads with 
quite glabrous ovarium and petals, and in its larger and different pod 
with a conspicuous waxy lustre. 
6. Marsdenia rostrata R. Br. var, Dunnii J. H. Maiden et E. Betche, 
I6, p. 136, 
Leaves somewhat smaller and on shorter petioles than in the typical 
M. rostrata, sparingly pubescent on both sides, the young shoots densely 
pubescent with very short hairs. Umbels on shorter peduncles, more 
numerous and more crowded than in the type. The variety is chiefly 
distinguished from the type by the arrangement of the hairs in the 
corolla-tube. The lobes are hairy as in the type, but the tube is lined 
with five thiekened longitudinal ridges alternating with the lobes and
