Rami pilosi, rubro-fusci, teretes. Stipulse minimce, deciduee. Phyllodia 

 ovato-oblonga, obliqua, undulata, mucronata, utrinque acuminata, apice 

 falcata, margine incrassata, undique pubescentia, costd unicd in medio.

A neat greenhouse plant, native of New Holland. Our 

 drawing was made in the Greenhouse of the Comte de 

 Vandes in July 1828. 



It is very near A. armata, from which it chiefly difters 

 in the absence of spiny stipules, and in the greater breadth 

 of the leaf-like petioles. 



Branches hairy, reddish brown, taper. Stipules very 

 small, deciduous. Phyllodia ovate-oblong, oblique, wavy, 

 mucronate, acuminate at each end, falcate at the apex, 

 thickened at the margin, downy on all sides, with a single 

 rib in the middle. Heads the size of a pea, pale yellow, 

 stalked. Peduncle filiform, downy, the length of the 

 phyllodia. J. L.
