 with long spines (Kurz), Leaves commonly 2^ by 1 in., upper becoming smaller, 

 often obovate, passing into bracts ; petiole less than \ in. Peduncles and neck of

 rowly lanceolate narrowed upwards obtuse, "peduncles short rarely divided, 

 ieads and fruit small, beak about as long as lie nucleus. Wall, Cat, 8557.

Apparently a shrub or small tree. Leaves li in., subsessile, narrowed at base, 

 glabrous or silky beneath. Peduitcks ^-f in., solitary or clustered, rusty -pubescent, 

 ^uch less shaggy than in A, acuminata var, lanceolata. Fruits about /^ in. broad. — 

 •Kurz, in Journ, As. Soc, 1874, pt. ii. 188, reduces this to A, acuminata; but from the 

 example he has communicated to Kew it appears that his A, phillyreafolia is not 

 *^e plant of Heurck ^' MuelL but A, acuminata var, 2 above. The present species 

 liowever may prove only a more extreme form of A, acuminata, 



4. A. pendula, Edgw. Cat, PL Banda, p. 47; leaves elliptic or obovate 

 ^ute or obtuse always narrowed at base, peduncles solitary simple, fruit sub-
