Pilosa, ramis diffusis teretibus, phyllodiis ellipticis obliquis 
undulato-tortuosis venosis marginatis marginis basi superiore 
uniglandulosis apice in mucronem elongatum subulato-seti- 
formem acuminatis, pedunculis axillaribus monocephalis folio

Acacia setigera, All. Cunn. in Herb. nostr. 
Haz. Sandstone ridges on the western branches of Hunter’s 
river, N. Holland. Allan Cunningham, Esq. 
The phyllodia and branches of this shrub are black in drying: 
the latter are quite cylindrical, pilose: the former are scarcely 
an inch long (even the largest of them), elliptical, oblique, coria- 
ceous, acute at the base, acuminated at the apex into a long 
slender curved subulate or almost setaceous point: the margin 
is thickened and ciliated with long hairs: the surface has a few 
scattered hairs. Heads of flowers globose, copious, on peduncles 4 
twice as long as the phyllodia, from the axils of which they — 
spring: these phyllodia, however, gradually become smaller, 2 
and altogether disappear beneath the uppermost peduncles, — 
which thus form a terminal raceme.
