hakeoides. Mk 



Very nearly allied to 



some forms of /. fnrcellata and /. JiorriJa, but less silky and sometimes al- 

 most glabrous. Branches striate, without very prominent angles and scarcely 

 flattened; phyllodineous branchlets terete or veiy slightly flattened, simple or 

 once or twice forked, very rigid, striate, usually but not always pungent. 

 Flowers of /. Jtorrida^ in short racemes, often reduced to almost sessile clus- 

 ters at the base of the pungent phyllodineous branchlets, rarely terminal. 

 Pedicels sliort, with small lanceolate bracteoles about the middle. Calyx 

 about 5 lines long, velvety or silky-pubescent with shining hairs often of a 

 [(oklen colour. Petals and ovary of ./. horrida. Pod not seew.— J. fascicu-
