Leaves ineluding the petiole only '/* to V 3 incli long. Flowers not 

 obtained. Styles extremely minute, with capitellar Stigmas. Fruits 011 

 pedicels of about 1 /s-inch length. Fruitlets much shorter than the pedicels, 

 somewhat demidiate, the ridglets concealed. 



A remarkable plantlet, similar to minute forms of D. pusillus, but with 

 fruits very much smaller than in any other congener, yet bearittg well 

 developed albument, hence neitber deformed nor of abnormal minuteness, 

 as might be thought at first sight. The smallness of the fruitlets brings 

 our new plant in some contact with Hydrocotyle, especially as H. coryno- 

 phora might be transferable to Didlscus. 



Acaria Maidenii. 



Arborescent; branchlets somewhat angular towards the sumuiit; 

 phyllodes large, of chartaceous texture, lanceolar-falcate, gradually narrowed 

 into the petiole, very closely striolated by fine longitudinal venuies with 

 some few of these more prominent, almost glabrous or sligbtly greyish 

 from hardly visible hairlets ; marginal glandule near the anterior base of 

 the phyllodes inconspicuous ; spikes almost sessile, solitary or two or three 

 together, their raehis tomentellous ; calyx broader than long, much shorter 

 than the corolla, short-Iobed, subtle-pubescent ; corolla almost glabrous, 

 deeply cleft, into usually 4 lobes, not streaked; fruit narrow, considerably 

 «ompressed, much twisted, outside beset with minute hairlets ; seed placed 

 longitudinally, ovate-ellipsoid, shining-black, their areole on each side 

 large ; funicle pale-reddish, completely or extensively encircling the seed, 

 suddenly doubled back from the summit, folded at the lower side.

This species seems to occur in several other places of Northern New 

 South Wales and Southern Queensland, but fruit-specimens, confirmatory 

 of its characteristics, are extant as yet in our collections only from the 

 three above-mentioned places. Nearest to A. glamescens.
