TAB. CLXVIII. 
Acacia NEUROCcARPA, A. C. 
Canescens demum glabra, phyllodiis (omnium maximis) semi- 
ovatis obtusis in petiolum attenuatis oblique 3—4-nerviis 
margine inferiori curvato, floribus spicatis, leguminibus (im- 
perfectis ?) tortuosis. 
Acacia neurocarpa. All. Cunn. in Herb, nostr. 
Haz. Cambridge Gulf, N. Holland. Allan Cunningham, Esq. 
I preserve the ms. name given to this plant by Mr. Cun- 
ningham, though my own specimen, in consequence of the im- 
perfect state of its fruit, does not indicate the character from 
which that name is derived. It is also destitute of root and 
flowers: but the great size and shape of the phyllodia and the 
acutely triangular branches, together with the hoary appear- 
ance of all the younger parts of the plant, will readily mark 
this species. One of the phyllodia measures above. 8 inches 
in length and between 5 and 6 in width. These large ones, it 
may be observed, are broader in proportion than the older ones; 
all of them taper into a rounded petioliform base, the apex is 
very blunt, having a mucro at the oblique point.
