3.— GENERAL NOTES. 



I. — Acacia amblygona A. Cunn. is found in undulating 

 country, and on the foothills of ranges, both in coastal and 

 inland districts. Near Brisbane its height is seldom more 

 than 3 or 4 feet. Its branches are terete and pubescent, and 

 the phyllodes are 3-4 lines by 1^ to 3 lines and almost tri- 

 angular. The pods are linear, somewhat curved, and l|-2 lines 

 broad. They are shghtly contracted between the seeds. It 

 is figured in Mueller's Australian Acacias, decade 7, plate 3. 

 It has been reported from Eidsvold, Miles, and Cliinchilla. 



II. — Acacia aulacocarpa A. Cunn. is known in South-eastern 

 Queensland as the hickory wattle, as its young stems were 

 formerly used as handles for the whips of bullock-drivers. It 

 is found along the eastern coast of Queensland from the Tweed 

 River to Bowen and Lizard Island,^ and inland through the 

 Suttor Desert^ to tropical AVest Australia.^ Its phyllodes are 

 similar in general appearance to those of A. cunninghamii 

 Hook., from wliich they can be distinguished, under the lens, 

 by their freedom from anastomoses in the veins, and by their 

 faintly glaucous surface. The pods are 2-3| inches long and 

 f inch broad, the outer surface marked by oblique furrows, 

 from which the specific name is derived. Acacia aulacocarpa 

 grows in communities, forming wattle scrubs, and reaches in 

 S. E. Queensland a height of 20 to 30 feet. It is figured in 

 Mueller's Aust. Ac, dec. 9, pi. 9 ; and in Maiden's Forest 

 Flora, vol. 3, pi. 103. 



III. — Acacia cincinnata F.v.M.* In the Flora Australiensis 

 this wattle was reported as from '" Rockingham Bay and 

 several other locahties in tropical Queensland," a statement 

 repeated in Bailey's Queensland Flora, vol. ii, p. 513. Unfor- 

 tunately Bailey seldom added to the localities given in the 

 Flora. "^Cambage (Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., vol. 49, p. 396)
