A neat greenhouse plant, native of New Holland 







drawing was made in the Greenhouse of the Comte de 

 Vandes in July 1828. 



_T 



It is very near A. armata, from which it chiefly differs 

 in the absence of spiny stipules, and in the greater breadth 

 of the leaf-like petioles. \ 



Branches hairy, reddish brown, taper. Stipules very 

 small, deciduous. Phyllodia ovate-oblong, oblique, wavy, 

 mucronate, acuminate at each end, falcate at the apex, 

 thickened at the margin, downy on all sides, with a single 

 rib in the middle. Heads the size of a pea, pale yellow, 

 stalked. Peduncle filiform, downy, the length of ^ the 

 pbyllodia.
