Hab. Southern parts of the Island?, Gunn, Stuart. 
I have seen only one small specimen of this from Gunn, with no habitat assigned, and another communicated 
by Dr. Miiller, and collected by Mr. C. Stuart: of these, both differ remarkably from ./. Ricrana in the very short 
peduncle; and Churn's specimen in the rigid, recurved phyllodia, with longer, pungent points; the habit and phyl- 
lodia of Stuart's specimen entirely accord with those of A. Riceana. 
§ 3. Uxixervle (Benth.).— Stems not winged. Stipules obsolete. Phyllodia one- rarely two-nerved, ovate-oblong, 
linear or ■ 
branched.

Hab. Abundant in dry soil throughout the Colony. — (FL Oct.-Dec.) [v. v.) 
Disteib. New South Wales and South-east Australia. 
A small shrub, seldom exceeding two feet high, with ascending or er. et braneh. - e\ 
upper branches compressed or winged. PkfUodia 
lanceolate or elliptical, acute at both ends, narrowed i gini thick, oft D red j 
oblique, produced into a short blunt macro; nerve* few, diverging. Peduncles stout, red, erect, g. 
than the phyllodia. Capitula few-flowered, on short stout diverging pedicels. Calyx very short, cup-shaped, thne- 
or four-lobed, glabrous. Petals very coriaceous, glabrous. Pods l-\\ inch long, erect, glabrous, coriaceous, 
narrow-linear, with very thick margins, sometimes a little twisted. 
This appears to be also a native of South-west Australia, resembling very closely the A. marginata, Br., and 
A. cela-strifulia, Benth., of that country ; and if so, it is the only species of Tasmania, or indeed of any pait of East 
Australia, that is also common to the west coast.
