[Closely allied to A. cochlearis, Labill. The phyllodia are rather 

 thicker ; the nerves, especially the lateral ones, less distinct ; the minute 

 brown stipules are broader, and the pod broader, thicker, with a more 

 thickened margin, and much curved, that of A. coc^Ze«m being nearly 

 straight.— G. B.]
