Ad rivum Sturt's Creek Australise subcentralis. No. 89. 



Arbor, nisi fallor, elata. Phyllodia bipoUicaria v. fere pedalia, circiter 

 3'" lata. CorolltB parvae. Legumina 1^-2^'' longa, vix semuneiara 

 lata. Semina circiter 2'" longa, altero latere ssepius valde convexa, 

 altero magis applanata. 



Species phyllodiis Acacia drepanocarpcs, juliferce et delibratee similis, 

 legumine autem ample diversa. 

 [I can see nothing in the phyllodia and flower to distinguish this from 



the A. doratoxylon, A. Cunn., of which the fruit is unknown. — G. B.]

 lentis angusto-lanceolatis tenuicuspidato-apiculatis uninerviis cre-

In plaga arenoso-petrsea prope ortum fluvii Roper et Limmen Bight 



River, No. 30. 

 Frutex 5-10'. Phyllodia 1^-3" longa, 3-4'" lata, furfure deciduo subtili 



conspersa. Rachis fructifera uncialis v. paulo longior. Legumina 



2-4" longa, sesquilineam lata dilute fusca extus canescentia. Semina 



sesquilinearia areolis oblongo-linearibus notata. 

 A. leptocarpce proxima. 



[Differs from A. leptocarpa in the pubescent stems, the phyllodia 

 shorter, rather narrow, straighter, and more coriaceous, terminated 

 sometimes by an almost pungent point, although occasionally obtuse or 

 with a terminal gland. The pod is also thicker. It will require more 

 complete specimens to determine how far these differences are specific.
