36 TROPICAL ACACIAS OF QUEENSLAND. 



treviter piloso. Leguniine (mature non viso) lineari-lanceolato, paullo 

 falcato, plerumque ca. 5 mm lato, ca. 4-5 cm.' longo, marginibus valde 

 incrassafis. Seminibus elongatis, longitudinaliter dispositiK, valvis inter 

 •semina leniter constrictis, funiculo in arillum leniter expansum terminante. 



A small woody shrub (of two to six feet at Stannary 

 Hills ; a low straggling shrub at Herberton), glabrous, with 

 angular branchlets. Phyllodia straight or slightly falcate, 

 usually linear-lanceolate, gradually tapering into both ends, 

 the apex a blunt point, at the base an indefinite nectary 

 (gland), o to 12 cm. (2 to 5 inches) long, 4 to 5 mm. broad, 

 rigid and moderately thick, with 7 well-defined parallel 

 nerves, running the whole length of the phyllode and uni- 

 form with the marginal ones, the mid-vein somewhat more 

 prominent. 



Spikes single or two in the axils, short, about 1.5 cm. 

 long, sessile or shortl}" stalked, not slender, rather dense, 

 rhachis smooth. Flowers 4- or o-merous, the bracts concave. 

 •Calyx truncate or somewhat lobed, somewhat thickened at 

 the base, about a third the length of the petals. Petals 

 smooth or slightly hoary, ribbed, united about half way up. 

 Pistil covered with short hairs. 



Pod (not seen quite ripe), linear-lanceolate, slightly 

 ialcate, usually about 5 mm. broad ; short, about 4 or 5 cm. 

 long, with strongly thickened, raised paler-coloured margins. 

 The seeds elongate, longitudinally arranged, the valves 

 slightly constricted between the seeds, the funicle (not seen 

 fully developed) forming a flattish ribbon ; terminating 

 in a slightly expanded arillus. 



Type. Stannary Hills, ida Irvinebank, North Queens- 

 land (Dr. T. L. Bancroft, 1910, communicated by Mr. C. T. 

 White). 



Mr. White also communicated to me a flowering 

 specimen collected b}^ the late Rev. J. E. Tenison- Woods, 

 at Herberton, with phyllodes rather shorter and broader 

 than the type. Also a flowering specimen collected by Dr. 

 Hamilton Kenny, December, 1911, at Herberton, and 

 described by him as '" common " there. 



Named in honour of Cyril Tenison White, Government 

 Botanist of Queensland, who has worthih' succeeded his 

 grandfather, the late F. M. Bailey, in that office.
