similar in habit to the A. platyptera (see our tab. 3933.) ; 
but that species is readily distinguished by the hairs with 
which it is clothed being less uniform, and some of them 
more harsh; by the stipules being subspinescent ; by the 
phyllodia having their solitary nerve near the centre, and 
their having a gland on their upper edge, similar to that on 
Acacia alata; by the mucro with which they are termi- 
nated being recurved ; and by the capitula being smaller 
and of deeper yellow. In Acacia alata (Bot. Reg. t. 
396.) the terminal mucro is straight and much more rigid 
and pungent than in either of thé species now described. 
Descr. Stem much branched from the bottom (the 
whole plant in the specimen described being about four feet 
high). Branches long, diffused, winged in two rows, 
internodes long, linear, Stipules very minute, soft, ciliated, 
deciduous. Phyllodia decurrent, densely covered with 
short soft hair, having a single merve passing near their 
upper edge, and terminated by an incurved soft mucro, 
entirely without gland or tooth, excepting the mucro at the 
extremity. Capitula solitary, on short peduncles. Flowers 
of an uniform pale yellow, and everywhere glabrous. 
Calyx five-cleft, segments ovate. Corolla twice as long as 
the calyx, five-partite, segments ovate, concave. Stamens 
thrice as long as the corolla; anthers rather deeper yellow 
than the rest of the flower. Pistil scarcely longer than the 
stamens ; stigma minute, capitate ; germen slightly pinkish.
