Äcacia Ilowitli. 



Viscidulous ; branchlets slender, flexile, streaked, short-pubescent ; 

 phyllodes small, sessile, curved-lanceolar or verging into an ovate form, 

 lougitudinally fewvenulated, densely ciliolated, short-mucrouate or only 

 apiculate, almost glabrescent except at the margin, their secondary venules 

 faint and partly reticular, their gl.indule almost obliterated; stipules 

 broadisb, very short, membranous ; headlets of flowers small, axillary, 

 solitary or sometimes two together on velutinellous peduncles of from 

 equal to double length ; flowers iu each headlet not very numerous ; bracts 

 mostly lanceolar- or rhomboid-cuneate ; calyx bluntly and coherently five- 

 lobed, as well as the coroUa beset with short hairlets outside; fruit rather 

 Short and narrow, much compressed, hardlj- curved, imperfectly and then 

 slightly constricted between the seeds, ciliolated but otherwise glabrescent; 

 seeds placed lougitudinally, oval-ellipsoid, compressed, shiniug-black, the 

 areole on each side long; strophiole pale, hardly folded, thrice or less 

 shorter than the seed. 



At Yarram-Yarram on Bodman's Creek, also in Glen Falloch ; 

 A.W. Ho Witt, Esq. 



Phyllodes chartaceons, dark-green, mostly '/« — ^-t inih long. Peduncles 

 nuich shorter than the phyllodes. Fruits to 2 inches long, to ^4 inch 

 broad, the valves of thin texture. Length of seeds hardly '/■* inch. The 

 form of the phyllodes is that of A. huxifvUa (to which A. hispidula, Cunn. 

 in Hook. „Icon. Plant." 161, now Willd., seems closely allied) ; but our 

 new plant is in almost every other respect very different. Among the 

 Plurinerves it approaches to some extent the equally viscidulous A. ixio- 

 jjhyllu and A. montana ; both, however, belong to the inlands desertregion, 

 not to the silvan mountain-tracts of the coast-country ; besides the 

 phyllodes of A. ixiophylla are very dissimilar in form and veuulation, the 

 sepals disconnected and the fruits crisped. A. montana (never truly a 

 niountaini)laiit) ))ossesses longer and bliiuter phyllodes with only two 

 primary venules, fruits mach beset with hairlets and seeds with a more 

 folded funicle. A. Howitli shares the climatic couditions conducive to 

 A. subpurosa, and notwithstanding tlie very much shorter and cousi)icuously
