In some of Cunningham^s specimens which I have recently examined I find the rathrr obscure in- 

 dented gland on the npper margin of most of the phyllodia, of which there is no trace on other speamenn. . 

 This leaves no longer any doubt as to the identity of DeCandoUe^s plant with Cunningham.; hut 

 amongst the latter there appear to be two marked forms-a pubescent one with the smaller pod, in m h.ch 

 the Jand is sometimes hut not always observable, and a glabrous one, with a larger pod '"/'^'^jh the 

 gland of the phyllodia is verj' rare. AU are from the same localities. The two names were both pubb^K-d 

 in the same year, 1825.
