A. DECORA Reichb. " Silver Wattle" of Cobar. This hand- 

 some busli is not plentiful here, but grows in small 

 clumps oil the sides of stony ridi^cs, and produces a mass 

 of flowers in Septembei-. 



A. MuRRAYANA F.v.M. Witta<j;oona, .Springfield. September. 



A. TKTKAGONOPHYLLA F.V.M. " Dead Finish." On .sandy 

 Devonian ridges generally over the western portion of 

 the district. September. 



A. OswALDi F.v.M. "Dead Finish," "Milgee." In many 

 forms about Cobar. June. 



A. DORATOXYLON A. Cuini. "Currawoiig," or " Spear wood." 

 Prefers stony ridges, though a fe^\' bushes grow on the 

 flats. One of tlie most beautiful Acacias, having fully 

 inch-spikes of flowers, and very profuse. It associates 

 with Eucaly})tus Morridi and E. viridis. A broad- 

 leaved variety is found on Devonian quartzite-ridges. 

 Wittagoona. August. 



A. CYPEROFHYLLA F.v.M. " Needle-Bush." Grows in grega- 

 rious clumps about Elouera, Cobar, and Kergunyah; it 

 prefers flat, damp soil. It has spikes of flowers fully 

 half-inch long, and is often found with " Yarren " and 

 "Mulga." October. 



A. DECURRENS WiUd., \ ai". MOLLIS. This is not plentiful; my 

 specimen came from Wittagoona, but I have also 

 collected it at Kergunyah, where there are only two 

 bushes of it. But it is very delicate, and cannot stand 

 rough weather. October. 



A. EXCELSA Benth. There is only a small-leaved variety 

 about Cobar, hardly a worthy representative of its 

 Queensland type. It has a peculiar habit of preferring 

 isolation from other trees, and grows on flat, desolate 

 parts. It is called here " Tronwood," and does not seem 

 to flower every year. February.
