442 BOTANY OF RYLSTONE AND GOULBURN RIVER DISTRICTS, 



A. SUBULATA, Bonpl. Quite local; only found at Murrumbo 

 Gate, growing amongst Ironbarks, E. sideroxylon. A 

 tall, graceful shrub, ^vitll long pendulent green branches. 

 September and October. The first recorded pods of this 

 species were obtained from this locality (P.L.S IST.S.W. 

 2nd Ser. Vol. viii.) 



A. ^CRASsiuscuLA, Wendl. A common wattle throughout 

 the district; flowers in October and September and fruits 

 in December. I have preceded the name with a query 

 as I have never seen an authenticated A. crassiuscula; 

 but as I am acquainted with almost every other species of 

 Acacia found in New South Wales I cannot place ni}- 

 specimens under any other than this one. The fruit 

 does not agree with Bentham's description, but perhaps 

 his were wrongly matched. It attains almost the size 

 of a young tree. 



A. NEGLECTA, J.H.M. et R.T.B. Perhaps the most common 

 of all the Acacias found on the sandstone ridges and 

 ranges. This is considered by some as A. hmata, but 

 the pods are entirely different from those described by 

 Bentham (B. Fl. Vol. ii. p. 373). 



A. HOMALOPHYLLA, A. Cunn. " Yarran." Talooby ; never 

 recorded so far east before. 



A. ixiOPiiYLLA, Benth. I have obtained only young pods of 

 this plant, so cannot speak with certainty as to its 

 identity; and yet if it is not this species I do not know 

 what other it can be, as its phyllodes are the most viscid 

 of all the Acacias known to me. It is by far the most 

 common wattle throughout the district of Bylong, 

 growing under the hills in dense, almost impenetraljle 

 masses, and is in fact quite a pest. It attains a height 

 of about 15 feet; September and October. 



A. 1 sp.nov. Rylstone; September. This I regard as a new 

 species, but liav^o not been able to obtain the pods. It
