 breviter pedunculatis, calycibus quinquedentatis rachibusque velutinis, 

 petalis enerviis glabris calycem semisuperantibus demum liberis obtu- 

 siusculis, leguminibus compressis marginatis 



Ad partes superiores fluvii Victoriae et in terra Arnhem's Land in 

 rupibus. No. 9. 



Frutex paucipedalis strictus. Phyllodia 2^-A" longa, 4-6'" lata, tenui- 

 coriacea. SpiccB ^V' longae. Calyces semilineam paulo excedentes. 

 Legumina matura deficiunt. 



Species A. calyculatce et A. acradenice {A. umbellatcB, Cunn.) proxima. 

 [Allied to A. Cunninghamii, and has the same remarkably angular 



branches; but the phyllodia are much shorter and straighter, and the 



young pods are different, although it evidently belongs to the same 



group. — G. B.]

 lodiis parvis fasciculatis angusto-oblongis obliquis basi angustatis 

 sessilibus apice recurvis brevissime rostellatis (enerviis v.) obscure

Upper Victoria, No. 74. 



Phyllodia 3-5'" longa, f-l|^"' lata, exsiccatione rugulosa. Spicee flori- 

 ferse 3-4'" longae. Flores V" breviores. Legumina desunt. 

 Species distinctissima, A. WicJchami consocianda. 

 [A very distinct species. The phyllodia are small and fasciculate, as 



in A. suhternata among Brunioidece, shaped more like some of the 



narrow-leaved forms oi A. arcuata, but much smaller, whilst the flowers 



show an affinity to A. WicJchami. — G. B.]

 |8. viscidula, ramulis innovationibusque subviscosis, phyllodiis late et 



oblique ovatis prominenter plurinerviis. Sturt's Creek. 

 Calyx glaber leniter sinuatus. Legumina non visa, et species igitur 



incerta.
