obscure nerves branch off obliquely from the costa. At the 
bottom of the leaf the bases of the mid-rib and of the incrassated 
margins unite and form a thickened portion or short petiole, 
which is jointed upon the branch. Peduncles racemose, longer 
than the phyllodia, and articulated in their axils ; although soli¬ 
tary, they spring from every upper phyllodium, and form a great 
leafy panicle of the most fragrant Jloioers, and of a palish yellow 
colour. Capiiula rather large, but each of few flowers. Stamens 
innumerable in each corolla.
