26 TROPICAL ACACIAS OF QUEENSLAND. 



Type from Herberton (J. Stirling). Mr. C. T. White 

 also sends it to me from Stannary Hills (Dr. T. L. Bancroft). 



Uninerves (Angustifolise). 



5. sentis F.v.M. in Journ. Linn. Soc, iii, 128. " In 

 Australia orientali tropica." 



In the rare PL Indig. Col. Vict., ii, 18, Mueller gives a 

 useful description in English of his species, stating that the 

 dromedaries (camels) of Howitt's Expedition in search of 

 Burke and Wills were extremely fond of browsing upon it, 

 and adds that " the generally paired, much longer pedun- 

 cles, distinguish A. sentis at once, even in its exstipular 

 state from Reichenbach's figure of .4. decora, to which 

 species it was referred, though not without doubt, by 

 Bentham in Journ. Linn. Soc, iii, 128." He further 

 discusses the dissimilarities. For a figure of A. decora 

 Reichenb. see my Forest Flora of N.S.W., Part 45. 



Bentham, p. SCO, records it from the Bargoo (Barcoo) 

 River, and figures the pod in Trans. Linn. Soc, xxx, t. 67. 

 Bailey, p. 487, quotes " Gulf of Carpentaria." Cambage, 

 p. 428, specifically quotes Normanton to Cloncurry ; p. 

 436, Cloncurry to Hughenden ; p. 437, Hughendento Prairie. 

 These are the first precise tropical Queensland localities 

 known to me. 



6. fasciculifera F.v.M. in B. Fl, ii, 361. The pod of 

 A. macradenia as described in B. FL, ii, 362, is that of A. 



fasciculifera as pointed out by Mueller in Wi7ig's Southern 

 Science Record for July, 1882. Both species are recorded 

 from Rockhampton. Its range requires further investi- 

 gation. 



Uninerves ( Racemose \ 



7. macradenia Benth. in Mitch. Trop. Aust., 360. 

 The type came from beds of rivers near Mt. Pluto. The pod 

 from Rockhampton (Thozet) as quoted in B. Fl., ii, 362, is 

 that of A. fasciculifera F.v.M. It may be admitted into a 

 list of tropical species on the authority of a species from the 

 Leichhardt district sent by Bailey to Mueller. Its range 

 requires further investigation. 



7(a) A. Bancrofti, n. sp. 

 Frutex glaucus ca. 6', ramulis teretibus, apicibus angulatis. Phyllodiis 

 obovatis ad lanceolatis, obtuse acuminatis, plerumqiie 12-18cra longis,
