Z). sqtiarrosa. Leaves cordate, ovate, much acuminate, usually 

 under J in. long; pedicels filiform. 



This species differs from D. filipes with which it has greatest 

 affinity, principally in having more acuminate and smaller leaves, 

 with revoiute margins; also in its smaller flowers, and in the upper 

 teeth of the calyx being scarcely if at all united, as well as in 

 possessing prominent bracts. 



The calyx is similar to that of D. squarroaa, but the leaves 

 entirely differ from that species.

 (R.T.B.) 



We have proposed the specific name from the recurved margins 

 of the leaves. 



Acacia Babuerleni, sp.nov. 

 (PL LI.— right division.) 



A shrnhhj pubescent plant of about 3 to 7 ft. as seen: generally 

 3 to 5 ft., throwing out numerous "switch-like" branchless stems 

 from the ground. 



Branchlets few, hoary pubescent, angular, mostly subtended by 

 a phyllode, with very prominent decurrent lines. 



Phyllodia rigid, mostly about 6 inches long, narrowed at both 

 ends, terminating in a straight recurved pungent point, broadest 

 in the middle, where they are 4 to 5 lines broad, rarely slightly 

 inclined to falcate, coriaceous; veins parallel, numerous, very 

 prominent on both sides, 3 or 4 more distinct than the others, 

 the finer veins occasionally anastomosing. Gland slightly removed 

 from the base, not prominent. Stipules small, about 1 line long, 

 deciduous. 



Peduncles solitary, opposite, about^ 9 lines long, pubescent, 

 bearing a comparatively large, dense, globular head of from 30 ta 

 40 flowers, closely packed, the calyces almost cohering, mostly 

 5-merous. 



Cal3^x turbinate, lobes obtuse, ciliate, less than half as long as 

 the corolla, more or less hairj^, eventually separating into spathu-
