peduncle, which is as long as the stamens, and slightly vil- 
lous. Bractee ovate, villous, ciliated, marcescent, one 
sheathing the base of each peduncle, another below each 
flower, the latter attenuated at the base, and more delicate ~ 
than the former. Calyx colourless, transparent, adpressed, 
five-cleft, seements blunt, ciliated. Corolla smooth, twice 
as long as the calyx, five-cleft; tube transparent, colour- 
Jess ; limb yellowish, spreading, segments pointed, concave. 
Stamens (three lines, long) yellow ; anthers small, bilo- 
bular ; lobes round, bursting by a transverse line on their 
outer sides. Pistil wanting in most of the flowers, yellow; 
stigma minute ; style rather longer than the stamens, ob- 
lique ; germen obscurely pubescent, oval. Granam. 
This plant was received at the Edinburgh Botanic Gar- 
den through the kindness of Mr. Arron, from the Royal 
Garden at Kew, in the beginning of 1828. It had been 
sent there by Mr. Cunnincuam under the name now given ; 
and Mr. Cunninenam says of it, in Field’s Memoirs, thatit 
is “a shrub ireanant on rocky barren ranges in the interior,” 
between the colony of Port Jackson and the settlement of 
Bathurst. It flowered freely in January and February. 
This species probably bears a great resemblance to A. 
multinervia, D C. only io to me, however, by the de- 
scriptions in his Memoirs on the Legumrnosa, and in the 
Prodromus ; but it differs in being provided with stipulz, 
and in the young branches being less angular. The pedun- 
cles, too, are probably longer, and the marginal gland, 
perhaps, nearer the base of the phyllodium. Further, the 
woolliness of the phyllodia, and more particularly of the 
young branches, could scarcely have been overlooked ; and 
as it 1s not mentioned, I presume it is wanting in A.
