 river, N. Australia, apjjcars to nle to be a form of the samef species, of a pale hue, with ra- 

 ther less oblique and more obtuse jdiyllodia. The specimens are small and in frait ouly, 

 with the racemes grown out into leafv branches. * 



Some specimens of Mitchell's have narrow mifch morfc coriaceous phyllodia and very small 

 Soffer-'ueads, but without the fruit it caunot be determined whether they are a distmct 



species or not.

 tuse, much narrowed towards the base, 6 tO'8 in. long or even more, with 2 

 or 3 nerves, and a lew reticulate or almost parallel veins between them ; mar-
