Murtiter—WVotes on an Undescribed Acacia from New South Wales. 225 
venulation of the phyllodes A. glaucescens, from which it differs in phyllodes of a 
more falcate form, terminated by a callous glandule, which reminds of that of A. 
stigmatophylla and A. leptocarpa, by smaller spikes and deeper cleft calyces ; but the 
fruit-specimens from Edgecombe Bay, alluded to by Bentham, may not perhaps 
belong to the same species, as they are nearer to A. Cunningham also as regards 
foliage. 
Mr. Bowman gives the height of 4. 7ulfera as only up to 10 feet at Nercool 
Creek and the Upper Flinders River, and says it is early flowering in the season. It 
is contained in Madame Dietrich’s collection from Port Denison under 2812, mixed 
with A. Solandri. That species agrees in venulation of the phyllodes certainly with 
A. julifera, but the phyllodes are narrower and straighter, the spikes longer, with 
remarkably dissite flowers like in A. aulacocarpa and A. cincinnata ; the calyces are 
short-lobed and glabrous, the fruit curled-flexuous, compressed, about § inch broad, 
the seeds ellipsoid, the funicle forms folds, but reaches the lowest part of the seeds 
only. 
A. cincinnata almost agrees, as regards carpologic characteristics, with A. 
Mardenit, but the phyllodes are somewhat dimidiate, more protracted upwards and 
more distinctly callous-glandular at the apex, reminding thus far of A. julifera ; 
their two or three primary venules are more prominent, the rachis is less tomentose, 
the flowers are more distant in the spikes, the calyces are deeper lobed, the corollas 
generally 5-cleft, the fruits narrower and more closely coiled, the funicle is near the 
base of the seed more folded. 
All the species mentioned may differ from each other besides in habit, predilec- 
tion of places of growth, bark, wood, odour of blossoms, time of flowering, as also 
fruiting, and perhaps in some other respects not observable on mere dried branchlets.
