m BOTANY OF RYLSTONE AND GOULBUUN KIVEH DISTRICTS, 



from the pods now in my possession I am inclined to 

 think his were not properly matched. Mr. Dawson's 

 specimens of fruit are attached to twigs, with the 

 phyllodes, and stout, strongly 3-angled stems and 

 early flowers, so that there can be no doubt about 

 their identity. They are not " long .... very 

 flexuose or twisted," but are straight or slightly curved, 

 2-3 inches long, under 2 " broad, valves thin, convex over 

 the seed. Seeds sixiall, oblong, longitudinal, funicle at 

 first straight and filiform, and gradually thickening into 

 3 or 4 folds under the seed. 



A. DISCOLOR, Willd. Kelgoola; September; rare. 



A. DEALBATA, Link. Occurs throughout the district from 

 Rylstone to the head of the Cudgegong ; September. 

 Its bark is never used as a tan, the inhabitants having 

 found out the superior tanning properties of the black 

 wattle (Acacia peuninervis, Sieb.). An interesting feature 

 of this Acacia here, is that the plants on the ridges 

 have short leaflets, 2-3"' long, and the whole tree is 

 glaucous, whilst the plants growing on the plains and in 

 gullies have linear leaflets, 4 to 6 lines long, and 

 glabrous; and the tree could very easily be mistaken for 

 A. decurrens, var. normalis, but for the pods.
