downy, four-toothed. Corolla of one, four-cleft, campanu-

This beautiful and most desirable Acacia was introduced 
by Mr. Arian Cunnincuam to the Royal Gardens at Kew, 
whence Mr. Arron has favoured us with specimens, (which 
were in great perfection in April, 1832,) and Mr. Cunnine- 
HAM with some notes respecting the distribution of the 
Genus over the Continent of Australia, where it is observed 
that “it inhabits not only the southern coasts, but all parts 
of the interior that have been hitherto explored.” “ Wher- 
ever I landed,” continues that zealous and intelligent 
Naturalist and Traveller, “ during my four and a half 
years’ voyage with Capt. Kine, an Acacia was sure to 
welcome me on my landing, and the last plant on which 
the eye rested, on those inhospitable steppes, to which Mr. 
Oxxey traced the Lachlan River, in 1827, (five hundred 
miles inland from Sidney) was my Acacta -stenophylla, a 
curious, slender tree, twenty-feet in height, with leaves 
from twelve to fifteen inches in length.”
