 I,li e lnit an n, J. G., Reliquiae Muellerianae: Descriptions of new Austialian 

 plants in the Melbourne Herbarium. [Read before the Field Naturalists 1 Club 

 of Victoria, 16th Nov., 1896.] (Extract from the Victorian Naturalist. 

 November, 1896.) 



Owing principally to the indefatigable energy of the late lameuted 

 Baron von Mueller, the flora of Anstralia in its main features has 

 become known even from the remotest paits. Only very rarely is a new 

 species now discovered among phanerogamous plants, althoug a good 

 deal remains to be done to elucidate the variability of species, to complete 

 the description of imperfectly understood plants and to further trace their 

 geographic ränge. The vast Melbourne herbarium that our late patron 

 brought together conlais some still undetermined foims, which among 

 his multifarius duties he could not find time to work up, and 1 propose- 

 to undertake their investigation, and publish the results from time to 

 time in the Victorian Naturalist. 



This evening 1 beg to submit a new species of Acacia from the 

 Upper Murchison River, Western Australia, where it was collected by 

 Mr. I s aac Tyson. 



Acacia Tysoni, Lu eh mann (section, uninervis brevifoliae). 

 Branchlets nearly terete, densely tomentose ; phyllodia oblong, slightly 

 oblique, with a small hooked point, narrowed at the base, about 1 inch 

 long, 3 to 4 lines broad, ashy-grey, covered with a line silky pubescence, 

 one-nerved with thickened margins, the lateral veins concealed, witiiout 

 marginal glands. Peduncles solitary, fully as long as the phyllodia, 

 bearing each a globular head of 10 or 12 rather large flowers, mostly 

 ü-merus. Calyx turbinate, glabrous, about one third as long as the 

 corolla; petals smooth, connate to above the middle. Pod straight, hard, 

 and woody, very turgid (broken, so that the length cannot be stated), 

 about 3 lines broad over the seeds, muc.h contracted between them. 

 Seed nearly 3 lines long, 2 lines broad and almost. as thick, but 

 laterally compressed, the funicle short, not folded, thichened into a 

 fleshy aril. ' 



Nearest to A. Meissneri and its allies. 



On limestone soil in the vicinity of Mount Narryer, Upper Murchison 

 River, Western Australia; Isaac Tyson.
