Mr. Cunningham notices this as a lovely shrub, forming beau- 
tiful garlands with its bending many-flowered branches. It is 
extremely difficult to describe the form of foliage in the numerous 
species of New Holland Acacie which have oblique or inzequila- 
teral leaves. In the present species, were the two halves of the 
phyllodium equally large, the shape would be cordate, but besides 
that the one half is much smaller than the other, this lesser 
one is suddenly contracted above the middle, and thence to 
_the apex presents little more than the thickened margin 
running parallel with the costa. There is a small subulate 
stipule on each side the base of the phyllodium. The heads 
of flowers are numerous in the axils towards the extremity of the 
branches, handsome and yellow.
