species. The petiolar gland is totally unlike that of typical A. pennata or that of A. 

 arrophula. 



19. Acacia pruinescens Kurz, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. 2. 298 ; 

 For. Flor. Brit. Burm. i. 424 ; pinnse 16-30, leaflets 80-120, rigidly 

 coriaceous dimidiate-linear densely crowded, bracts large lanceolate ; 

 branches and branchlets usually covered with a waxy bloom.

 Shong Khong, Watt 6266! Burma; Hukung Valley, Griffith 1930! 

 Poneshee, /. Anderson ! Pegu, Yomah, Kurz 1744 ! (the last with rather 

 larger leaflets and without bloom.) 



A large woody climber, armed with recurved thorns, stems thick, the young 

 branches almost always pruinose ; leaves up to 10 in. long, petiole short with a very 

 large gland 1 in. above the base ; leaflets sessile, up to "5 in. long, blunt, glabrous or 

 with ciliate margins ; heads "5 in. across, ovary glabrous. Pod unknown. 



A very distinct species ; the Pegu specimen above mentioned has been named 

 var. laevis by Mr. Kurz and seems deserving of varietal rank. The pods described 

 by Mr. Kurz as those of his plant belong, however, as his specimens show, to the 

 quite different plant which must be treated as var. macrocarpa of A. canescens Grah., 

 (A pennata var. canescens Baker.) 



20. Acacia pseudo-Intsia Miq. Flor. Ind. Bat. i. 12 ; pinna? 12-16, 

 leaflets 40-60 ligulate-oblong, rigidly subcoriaceous crowded, apex 

 rounded not cusped, bracts large ovate-acute. Prain, Journ. As. Soc. 

 Beng. lxvi. 2. 249. 



Var. typica ; leaflets minutely adpressed-puberulous beneath.

 Java. 



Var. ambigua Prain, loc. cit. ; leaflets quite glabrous beneath. 



Andamans ; very common. 



Prickles numerous, short, straight or recurved. Branchlets and leaf-rachises 

 faintly puberulous, the latter with a very large gland near base of petiole and with 

 2-3 similar but smaller glands between the bases of the distal pairs of pinnae. Pinnae 

 3-4 in. long ; leaflets subcoriaceous 5 in. long, - 15 in. wide, dark-green above, grey 

 beneath, quite glabrous above, faintly adpressed-puberulous beneath in var. typica, 

 glabrous beneath in var. ambigua. Peduncles 2-4-nate very rarely solitary, '5 in. 

 long (in type) to "75 in. long (in var. ambigua), bracts large ovate-acute, puberulous 

 or (var. ambigua) glabrous ; heads yellow, 4 in. in diam. Corolla yellow. Pod not 

 seen. 



A distinct species, much resembling in externals A. Intsia and A. Csesia but 

 easily distinguished from both by its much larger bracts. 



128. ALBIZZIA Durazz. 



16. Albizzia Kalkora Brain ; leaflets 24-32, obtuse, heads not 

 panicled, calyx pedicellate funnel-shaped. Mimosa Kalkora Boxb. Hort.
