ACACTA SUBCERULEA, Lindl. Near Coolgardie, August. Shrub 
up to 8 feet high. 
A. ANEURA, F. Muell. Common between Wilson's pool and 
Lake Darlöt, where it is a shrub about 8 feet high, flowering 
in May. A variety with short phyllodes was met with at Pen- 
dinnie soak as a tall shrub bearing flowers in March.

There is some doubt about the pods of this plant. My col- 
lecting-note says “ pods short,” and there are in the collection a 
couple of stray Acacia-pods which I think must be those of the 
present plant. These are apparently immature, the larger being 
oblong, about 1:5 em. in length, half as much in breadth, and 
nearly flat. Attached to one of the specimens are two small, 
turgid, somewhat faleate apparent pods about 4 mm. long and 
almost as broad; but these look so different from the incipient 
pods of just-fertilized flowers, that I suspect the agency of an 
insect here. The nature of the pods of this species must, 
therefore, remain doubtful for the present. 
The species is certainly closely allied to A. aneura, F. Muell., 
which, inter alia, has longer, narrowly linear phyllodes, mostly 
5-merous flowers, and free narrow petals. 
A. BRACHYSTACHYA, Benth. Between Coolgardie and Lake 
Darlót. Precise locality not ascertainable, the label baving been 
lost.
