440 BOTANY OF RYLSTOXK AND GOULBURN RIVER DISTRICTS, 



Acacia lanigera, A. Cunn. Henbury and R3'lstone ; in flower 

 in September and in fruit in December. The first 

 authentic pods of this species were obtained from this 

 locality (P.L.S.N.S.W. 2nd Ser. Vol. x.) 



A. juniperina, Willd. Murrumbo, Road to Goulburn River; 

 September. 



var. brownii, Benth. Barrigan Ranges. 



A. armata, R. Br. Cox's Gap, Murrumbo; September. 



A. voMBRiFORMis, A. Cunn. Rare; Kelgoola; September. 

 In the specimens collected there is a peculiar recurved 

 point or hook instead of the gland usually found on the 

 phyllodia of this species. 



A. undulifolia, a. Cunn.; var. sertipormis, Benth.; and var. 

 DYSOPHYLLA. Benth. Both forms are met with over the 

 whole district on sandstone ridges ; var. sertiformis is 

 most aljundant in the Capertee Valley, but is found 

 interspersed with var. dysophylla at Camboon, Bylong, 

 and Murrumbo. 



A. VERNiciFLUA, A. Cunn. Between Rylstone and Mount 

 Vincent; September. 



A. PBNNINERVIS, Sieb. This giant Acncia is found through- 

 out the whole district, on both sides of the Dividing 

 Range. It is known as " Black wattle," and its 

 bark is valued for its tannin properties. At the head 

 of tlie Capertee Valley some trees attain a height of 

 from 50 to 70 feet or more. It is not recorded for 

 Mudgee in Mr. A. G, Hamilton's Census, although it 

 occurs plentifully not very far east of that town. 



Of all the wattles known to me I think I can justly 

 assign the first place to this one for possessing the most 

 numerous varietal forms. 



Bentham only gives one variety, viz., falciforinis,\jLn.diev 

 which he includes .4. Jalcifurmis, DC, and A. astringens, 

 A . Cunn.
