2 52 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDKNS, SYDNEY, NO.Xvii. 



The pods of this Acat'ia sveie not known, when the second 

 volume of Bentham's Flora Australiensis was published, and they 

 have not been described since, so far as we know: therefore, we 

 add here the following short description : — 



Pods linear-lanceolate, slightly falcate, 5 cm. long in the only, 

 not f ullv matured pod seen, and ^ cm bi'oad, flat, but with very 

 prominently raised margins, so that the sides of the vah^es appear 

 sunk: sides smooth, but obliquely striate. Seeds not seen. The 

 pods are very much like those of A. gonccarpa F.v.M., in the 

 Series Juliflorae, anfl A. fptragonocarpa in the Series Calamiformes.
