Blood's Creek; near Musgrave Range; also in Central Australia. Appears 

 to approach nearest to /. hrevidens, Benth., but has bracts considerably longer 

 than the buds, a longer and dark-haired calyx, with teeth of equal length and 

 longer than the tube; the leaves are often much longer than in /. hrevidens. 



Acacia aneura, F. v. M., var latifolia, n. var. Variat phyllodiis lineari- 

 lanceolatis subobtusis rigidis 4-7 mm. latis. 



This broad-leaved variety is found in similar situations to the type; its 

 phyllodia, like those of the narrow-leaved mulga, are always minutely pubescent. 



Cassia Sturtii, R. Br., var. involucrata, n. var. Variat tomento crispo 

 albo, foliolis 3-4-jugis obovatis \\-2 cm. longis circa 10 mm. latis cum glandula 

 inter utroque jugo inferiore, fioribus 4-6 umbellatis involucro bractearum 

 majuscularum obovatarum cinctis, una et altera anthera longiore quam ceterae.

Pultenaea trinervis, n. sp. Frutex habitu ad P. involucratam accedens, 

 foliis ovato-lanceolatis rigidis 8-15 mm. longis supra concavis glabris infra villosis 

 trinervibus in mucronem fere pungentem desinentibus, petiolis circa 2 mm. longis, 

 fioribus in axillis ramulorum, calyce 4 mm. longo in lobis acuminatis pubescente 

 stipulis involuto, bracteis nullis, bracteolis ovato-oblongis brunneis concavis sub 

 calyce insertis, ovario villoso. 



Mount Lofty Range; near Port Lincoln. 



This plant was placed by Bentham under P. villifera, Sieb., as var. 

 (?) australis, but Mr. H. B. Williamson, the monographer of the genus, agrees 

 with me that it would be better to treat it as a distinct species. It appears to 

 stand nearer to P. involucrata, Benth., than to P. villifera. 



P, villifera, Sieb., var. glabrescens, n. var. Foliis fere planis latioribus 

 15-20 mm. longis 6-7 mm. latis in mucronem pungentem 2 mm. longum abeuntibus 

 prope basin ciliatis cetera glabris, nervo medio infra conspicuo lateralibus minus 

 Claris, petiolo pubescente ^-1 mm. longo, calyce 5 mm. longo viscido, bracteolis 

 lanceolatis.
