Hab. — North bank (Ozanne, n. 5). On dry and sandy soil along the Vin- 

 tang Creek, at Jarrol in Bondali district, and at Sandeng in Kiang district

 the Kew Bulletin as «Acridocarpus sp.». Itseems to be nearest to A. plagiop- 

 terus Guill. et Perr., 1. c. p. 123, t. 29; and has not been found outside 

 the limits of the colony.
