is a low shrub of a few feet, with long linear plurinerved 

 phyllodes and short axillary racemes, with very few 

 flowers in the head. 



A. MKLANOXYLON, R. Br. Only small trees seen; foot of 

 Barrigan Ranges, Mt. Vincent and Kelgoola. The 

 timber is not valued; August. 



A. IMPLEXA, Benth. Barrigan Ranges; in early fruit. 



A. LONGiFOLiA, Willd. (a). Yar. Bylongensis, var.nov. This 

 is quite a distinct variety from any described by Bentham 

 (B. Fl. ii. 398). The length of the phyllode has already 

 been recorded (RL.S.N.S.W. 2nd Ser. Vol. viii. p. 311). 

 The racemes are shorter and more compact than the type 

 and other known varieties, resembling in some respects 

 those of A. doratoxylon; in fact it might be looked upon 

 as an intermediate form between these two species. 

 Gulf Road and Camboon. 



(6). Var. TYPICA, Benth. This variety is found on 

 the Barrigan Ranges. 



A. DORATOXYLON, A. Cunn. " Hickory." At Murrumbo, on 

 the ranges on the right bank of the Goulburn River. 

 It also probably extends to the Hunter River, as a 

 specimen of " Hickory" timber from that locality, which 

 I have compared with the Murrumbo " Hickory," is 

 exactly identical. I consider the finding of this .species 

 here of some importance, as it has only previously been 

 recorded in this Colony from the interior, as the " Spear- 

 wood of certain tribes." Height generally from 15-30 

 feet; diameter up to 1 foot; in flower in September and 

 in fruit in November and December. 



A. CuNNiNGHAMii, Hook., and also var. longispicata, Benth. 

 Cox's Gap ; September. I am indebted to Mr. J. 

 Dawson for the pods of this Acacia. They hardly agree 

 with any previous descriptions. Bentham had only 

 unripe pods as he mentions (B. Fl. ii. p. 407), and
