DR. F. MUELLEIl ON AUSTRALIAN AOACIiE. 137 



78. AcAciA DREPANOCARPA, n. sp. Erccta, glabra, ramulis superne 

 angulatis, phyllodiis brevissime petiolatis elongato-linearibus subrectis 

 basi et apice longe angustatis hinc apiculatis supra basin glanduligeris 

 uni- trinerviis crebre parallelo-venosis, spicis axillaribus solitariis 

 brevissime pedunculatis, leguminibus Ugnescentibus complanatis sub- 

 falcatis intus oblique septatis margine planis integerrirais apice obtusis 

 basi longe acutatis. 



In rupibus plagse austro-oceidentalis sinus Carpentariae, No. 27. 



Frutex. Phyllodia iis A. juliferce et delihratce simillima, sed glandula a 

 basi paulo remota. Rachis cylindracea circiter sesquipolliearis. Flores 

 desunt. Legumina iis A. loxocarpce, oncinocarpce et aulacocarpcB 

 similia, 1^-3" longa raro recta, margine (statu saltem immature) sub- 

 canaliculato -plana, extus oblique et fere parallelo-venosa. 



A. loxocarpce propinqua. 



[Closely allied to A. avida Benth., and only appears to differ, as far 



as the specimens indicate, in the much narrower pods ; but these are far 



from ripe in Dr. Mueller's specimen, and the only one on Cunningham's 



specimen is quite ripe and open. — G. B.] 



79. Acacia lysiphloia, n. sp. Subglabra, viscidula, ramulis angu- 

 latis, phyllodiis sessilibus (fere uncialibus) oblongis leviter curvatis 

 cuspidatis 1-3-nerviis obscure parallelo-venosis creberrime punctulatis 

 vix glanduligeris, stipulis e lata basi lanceolato-subulatis diu persis- 

 tentibus, spicis brevibus axillaribus solitariis breviuscule pedunculatis 

 densifloris cylindricis, sepalis angustis glabris corolla 5-partita triplo 

 brevioribus. 



Sturt's Creek, No. 84 ; Hooker's Creek, No. 86. In arenosis plani- 

 tierum et vallium sinus Gulf of Carpentaria, e. g. ad ortum fluvii 

 Limmen et Bight River, No. 3. 

 Arbuscula, coma planiuscula dilatata. Cortex exterior tenuis castaneo- 

 fuscus in frustulis revolutis secedens. Phyllodia f-l" longa, 1-1|^"' 

 lata, Spic(S uncia seepe breviores. Legumina ignota. 

 A. ptychophyllce approximanda. 



[Very near J. linarioides, Benth. The phyllodia are rather shorter and 

 thicker and sometimes rather broader. The flowering spikes are closer 

 and shorter, but they are younger ; in the specimen No. 84, where they 

 are more developed, they are nearly as long as in J. linarioides. If the 

 pod (which is unknown) should not prove different, it must be considered 

 as a mere shortened variety of A. linarioides. — G. B.] 



80. Acacia linearis, Sims, Bot, Mag. t. 2156. 



Satis frequens in vallibus silvaticis irriguis partis austro-orientalis 

 coloniae Victoriae. 



81. Acacia floribunda, Willd. Sp. PL iv. 1051. 

 Ad flumen Tamba terras Gipp's Land. 

 Frutex 10-12' altus.
