yellow colour, on peduncles which are longer than the 
heads of flowers, and generally in pairs from the axils of 
the leaves. 
This species of Acacia was discovered by Mr. ALian 
Cunnineuam, during Mr. Oxuey’s Expedition in 1817, in 
the country around Bathurst, where it flowered throughout 
the winter. ‘“ It also adorns the barren hills near Cox’s 
River at the cool season of the year, and about December 
produces its ripened pods. With us (at Kew, whence the 
specimen here figured was sent by Mr. Arron,) it blossoms 
in the spring along with many others of its kindred, mingled 
with which it forms an agreeable contrast, by its slender 
habit, and deep yellow flowers. It was first raised at Kew 
from seeds sent from the Colony in the year 1823. Asa 
species, its nearest affinity is with A. dodoneefolia, Wi... 
and A. graveolens, CunnincHam; from both of which, how- 
ever, it is abundantly distinct.””. A. Cunningham.
