910. Phyllodia twice or thrice as long as broad. 



Shrub, seldom tall ; phyllodia small, oblique, from elliptic- 

 to obovate-cuneate, recurved- or lateral-pointed ; fruit 

 narrow, often almost spirally twisted ; arillar appendage 

 pale, extending unilaterally somewhat beyond the base 

 of the seed. A. acinacea. 



Phyllodia not much longer than broad. 



Shrub, generally small ; phyllodia very small, oblique, from 

 obovate-rhomboid to nearly orbicular, recurved-pointed ; 

 fruit narrow, often almost spirally twisted ; arillar ap- 

 pendage pale, extending unilaterally somewhat beyond 

 the base of the seed. A. obliqua. 



911. Phyllodia with two venules on each side ... ... 912 



Phyllodia with only one venule on each side ... 913 



912. Phyllodia broad-linear, almost blunt. 



Shrub, somewhat tall, sticky ; phyllodia rather short, some- 

 times verging into a narrow-elliptic and cuneate form, 

 glandular-dotted ; primary venules immersed, secondary 

 anastomosing ; headlets of flowers solitary or two to- 

 gether on short stalks ; fruit densely beset with inter- 

 woven hairlets, broad-linear, compressed, almost straight, 

 seldom constricted between the seeds ; arillar appendage 

 comparatively large, pale, closely twisted, much extend- 

 ing on one side of the seed. A. moiitana. 



Phyllodia elongate-lanceolar, gradually pointed. 



Shrubby or somewhat arborescent, sticky ; phyllodia rather 

 long, glandular-dotted, of thin texture, somewhat curved ; 

 headlets of flowers generally two together, on short stalks; 

 fruit nearly or quite glabrous, broad-linear, somewhat con- 

 vex, almost straight, often constricted between the seeds ; 

 arillar appendage pale, somewhat sigmoid-patellar, clasp- 

 ing only the base of the seed. A. vernicifLlia. 



913. Phyllodia thin, almost porous from glandular dots. 



Shrubby or arborescent ; phyllodia from elongate-lanceolar 

 to broad-linear, sticky ; headlets of flowers solitary or 

 oftener two or three together, their stalks very short, 

 densely beset with short hairlets; fruit broad-linear; arillar 

 appendage rather pale, somewhat sigmoid - patellular, 

 touching only the base of the seed. A. leprosa.
