Acacia undulifolia, Fras., var. pubescens. 



A softly pubescent variety with typical phyllodes, — those on 

 the young shoots at the base of the peduncles mostly deciduous in

 quantity since the opening of the line to Narrabri. As it was

 Deane, M.A., was written to on the subject, who says: — "It 

 grows in the Counties of Pottinger and White to my knowledge. 

 The nearest place that I know is about six miles beyond 

 Boggabri on the North- Western Railway. You can see it 

 from the railway carriage. There used to be a thick clump 

 of it also about four miles this side of Narrabri Station. I am 

 not sure of the other spots, but there is a creek running into
