Branchlets, rhachis of the pinnate leaves and principal 

 veins on the underside of the leaves densely covered with 

 short, spreading, pale-brown hairs, more sparingly hairy on 

 the smaller reticulate veinlets. Upper side of the loaves 

 quite glabrous, or with hairs on the midvein only or spar- 

 ingly sprinkled with hairs even on the reticulate veinlets. 



This is apparently the form mentioned by Mueller in 

 Fragm.vi., p. 188, from Camden Haven, Macleay River and 

 Bellinger River, buc it is such a very distinct form, that 

 it should be constituted a named variety, in our o])inion. It 

 seems to be confined to the coast district and mountain- 

 ranges from Camden Haven to the Bellinger River, or from 

 about 30° to 32' S. lat. It does not seem to extend into 

 Queensland, so far as we know.
