Allan Cunningham, Esq. ' 
An erect, twiggy shrub, with very angled branches. Phyllo- 
dia scarcely an inch long, oblique and falcate, marked with 
parallel nerves and with an indistinct small gland on the base 
of the upper margin: the young ones are singularly dilated at 
the apex and these apices are swollen, pellucid, and appear as 
if, in the living state, they were filled with gummy or resinous 
fluid ; in age this singular character disappears and the phyllo- 
dium becomes narrow and more acute at the apex, but seldom 
mucronated. Stipules 2, small, ovate, acute, appressed. Pe- 
duncles about twice as long as the leaves, solitary, bearing a 
globose head of flowers.
