_ This slender and graceful species of Acacta is frequent 
on the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, and it also 
inhabits rocky hills in the interior to the westward of Port 
Jackson, where it was originally discovered during the first 
expedition of Mr. Oxxey on the Lachlan river, in 1817 ; 
but was not introduced to the English gardens till 1823, 
when plants were raised at Kew from seeds sent by Mr. 
Autan Cunninenam. Mr. Arron obligingly communicated 
the specimens from which our drawing was made in full 
flower, in April, 1834. |
