A. undulifolia Fraser, var. pubescens. Shuttleton. Sep-

A. cibaria F.v. M., (additional note). On account of its 

 general appearance, it is locally known as "Umbrella- 

 Mulga." The phyllodia are 4-6 inches long, and 1-1 £ 

 lines broad, and very thick. Growing in gregarious 

 patches over extensive areas, in the western portions of 

 the district. 



A. homalophylla (additional note). There are several 

 varieties about the district. A long-leaved form grow- 

 ing at Lerida; a broad, oblong form 3 miles west of 

 Cobar; and a narrow, slightly falcate form south of 

 Cobar. A peculiarity connected with the " Yarrens " 

 is, that the foliage assumes a light yellow or seared 

 colour during the winter and flowering-season, but 

 regains its natural green colour during the fruiting- 

 season. There is a " Ring Yarren," but beyond seeing 

 a specimen of the wood, I have not yet come across the 

 bush, nor can T get any information as to its varietal 

 characteristics.
