394 NOTES ON MIMOSE. 
Though I have not seen the flower, this is so remarkable 
a species and so evidently allied to A. alata, that I was 
unwiling to leave it unnoticed. By the continuance of 
the wing from one phyllodium to the one next below, the 
axillary gemma is removed to a distance of 2 to 4 lines 
from the stem. 
4. A. alata (Br. in Hort. Kew. ed. 3. v. 464), glabra v. 
hirta, stipulis subspinescentibus, phyllodiis falcato-ovatis 
onge bifariam decurrentibus, margine superiore angulo 
glandulifero, nervo subcentrali in mucronem. pungentem 
rectum excurrente, pedunculis monocephalis, capitulis 8-15- 
floris.— Wendl. Diss. t. 1.; Bot. Reg. t. 396.—Phyllodiorum 
pars libera 3-1-pollicaris, vix angustior quam longa. Pedun- 
culi solitarii v. gemini. Calyx minutus. Legumen stipita- 
tum, falcato-oblongum v. lanceolatum, valde incurvum, 
marginibus Ee 1-14 poll. longum, 4 lin. latum, 
valvulis convexis. Variat caule phyllodiis pedunculis et 
etiam leguminibus glabris v. hirsutissimis.—Swan River and 
King George's Sound. 
5. A. platyptera (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1841; Misc. n. 
10), hispida, stipulis subspinescentibus, phyllodiis falcato- 
oblongis longe bifariam decurrentibus, margine superiore 
angulo glandulifero, nervo subcentrali in mucronem recurvum 
excurrente, pedunculis monocephalis, capitulis 8-15-floris.— 
Bot. Mag. t. 3933.—Ab A. alata differt praecipue internodiis 
longioribus, alis latioribus, phyllodiis ui teta longioribus 
apice recurvis, mucrone vix pungente. Calyx ad medium 
fissus, brevissimus.—Swan River, Drummond. 
6. A. diptera (Lindl. Bot. Reg. App. xv. non Humb. et 
Bonpl.), glaucescens, stipulis minutis v. obsoletis, phyllo- 
diis parvis lanceolatis incurvo-faleatis longissime bifariam 
decurrentibus mucronatis eglandulosis, nervo margini su- 
periori arcte approximato, pedunculis simplicibus v. hinc inde 
racemosis, capitulis multifloris.—H ook. Ie. Pl. iv. t. 369 — 
Forma normalis glaberrima est. Phyllodia valde remota, vix 
semipollicaria. Ale nunc angustissime vix conspicua, nunc 
3-4 lin. late. Racemi v. ramuli floriferi in axillis superiori-
