38 TROPICAL ACACIAS OF QUEENSLAND. 



Cambage, at pp. 412, 413, who knows A. doratoxylon 

 in New South Wales well, quotes it from Ahiiaden to 

 Forsayth and from Forsayth to Normanton with a query. 

 His remarks at p. 413 should be read. After careful con" 

 sideration later I cannot see am' difference which cannot 

 be explained by a change in environment, for North Queens- 

 land is far from the home of the type. The pods of the 

 northern form are undoubtedly more fleshy. I have since 

 received the following from Mr. C. T. White : 



(a) '" Lancewood," Gilbert River (E. W. Bick). 



(6) " Lancewood," Rockhampton (Chief Engineer for 

 Queensland Railways). 



(c) Eidsvold and Dalby (both from Dr. T. L. Bancroft). 



38. torulosa Benth. in J own. Linn. Soc, iii, 139. The 

 tjrpe comes from the Nicholson and Northern Territor3^ I 

 have received it from Groote Eylandt, Gulf of Carpentaria 

 (A. E. Martin). 



Bentham, p. 405. quotes ' Dayman's Island, Endeavour 

 Straits. W. Hill." I have seen it from the Endeavour 

 River (W. Persieh. through Mueller). Bentham figures 

 the pod at Trans. Linn. Soc, xxx, t. 68. Cambage, pp. 

 416, 420. has Gilbert River to Croydon ; (?) pp. 428, 432, 

 Normanton to Cloncurrj-. 



The four species which follow, viz., julifera. Solandri, 

 leptocarpa and polystachya are often confused in collections, 

 but I will tr^- and make their limitations clearer. The 

 notes which follow from B. Fl.. ii, 317, supplemented by 

 the specific descriptions in pages 405-7, are given in 

 brackets. 



[Phyllodia narrow-lanceolate. . . . usually with 



about 3 nerves more prominent than the rest.] 

 ****** 

 [Phyllodia glabrous. Pod spirally twisted 



into numerous coils 

 Spikes dense, 1-l^in. long] 

 Sepals spathulatc . . . . . . . . . . julifera 



[Phyllodia glabrous. Spikes interrupted, 

 2-3 in. long, slender. Calyx truncate], 

 "the fruit curled flexuous " (F. v. M.) .. SoUindri 

 [Phyllodia more falcate than in the preceding species, 

 often broader or longer, with more nerves. 

 Pod narrow or flat, straight or twisted.
