290 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS. 
Interior of South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland 
and Northern Australia. 
3. Acacia pycnantha, Benth., (Syn. A. petiolaris, Lehm; <A. 
falcinella, Meissn.) ; N.O., Leguminosz, B.FI., ii., 365. 
“ Golden Wattle.” ‘Green Wattle.” ‘‘ Broad-leaved Wattle.” 
An extract of the flowers of this Wattle was shown as a 
perfume at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886. 
A score of other species of Acacia, e.g., A. suaveolens, might 
be selected as worthy of culture as perfume plants. ‘“ Mutton fat 
being cheap, and the Wattle plentiful, a profitable trade may be 
anticipated in curing the flowers, &c.’’ (Piesse, Art of Perfumery.) 
South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. 
4. Andropogon scheenanthus, Zzzn., (Syn. A. Martini, Roxb.; 
A. citratum, DC.; A. Nardus, Linn.; Cymbopogon schenan- 
thus, Spreng.); N.O., Graminez, B.FI., vii., 534. 
A strong-growing grass, more in repute as a perfume than a 
fodder. Other species of Andropogon are more or less aromatic. 
Queensland. 
5- Anisomeles salvifolia, &.2r., N.O., Labiate, B.FI., v. 89. 
Mr. P. A. O’Shanesy points out that this plant may be made 
to yield a very delicate perfume. It is a very variable species. 
Queensland and Northern Australia. 
6. Backhousia citriodora, “v.47, N.O., Myrtacez, B.FI., iii., 
270. 
“Scrub Myrtle.” ‘ Native Myrtle.” 
The foliage of this tree is deliciously lemon-scented, like the 
Scented Verbena (Lippia citriodora). The essential oil from the 
leaves has been tested for scenting soaps, and has answered the 
purpose well. The dried leaves, put in little bags (such as are 
employed for holding lavender flowers) give, for a long time, a 
very pleasant odour to the contents of linen-presses, &c. 
Queensland. 
7. Eucalyptus maculata, Hook /, var. citriodora, (Syn. Z. cétrio- 
dora, Hook. f.); N.O., Myrtacez, B.FI., iii., 257.
