Benth., but is readily distinguished from that species by the 

 flowers being in globular beads and mostly 5-merous. 



Acacia brachyclada. Suffruticosa vel fruticosa, glabra visci- 

 dulaque, ramulis brevibus teretibus vel vix angulosis, phyllodiis 

 oblique ovatis vel orbicularibus firmis apice obtusis breviter apicu- 

 latis margine nervosis tuberculatis nervo medio inconspicuo, 

 stipulis obliteratis, pedunculis solitariis gracilibus quam phyllodia 

 longioribus. capitulis giobosis 8-12-floris, floribus parvis viscidis 

 5-meris, sepalis perminutis vel obsoletis, petalis liberis obtusis 

 levibus, leguminibus (junioribus) linearibus compressis incurvatis 

 glabris viscidisque. 



Loc. Kellerberrin ; F. R. Vachel. 



Suffrutex vel frutex. Phyllodia 1-1^ lin. long. Pedunculi 

 1J-2| lin. long. 



Differs from all other members of the series Uninerves, sub- 

 series BrevifolicB, in the reduced foliage and in the calyx being 

 usually suppressed. 



Acacia Kochii. Fruticosa, elata, glabra, ramis modice robustis 

 teretibusque, ramulis spinosis reductis tenuibug rectis rigidissimis, 

 phyllodiis plerumque fasciculatis infra spinas oblique obovatis vel 

 oblanceolatis aliquanto falcatis obtusis breviter stipitatis nervo 

 medio manifesto penninerviis, stipulis obsoletis, pedunculis gra- 

 cillimis solitariis vel geminatis axillaribus vel infra spinam sitis, 

 spicis plurifloris phyllodiis subsequalibus, floribus 5-meris, calyce 

 sericeo tenui quam corolla multo breviori breviter lobato lobis 

 latis obtusisque, petalis ovatis obtusis usque infra medium coalitis, 

 leguminibus linearibus aliquanto contortis inter seminaque con- 

 tractis valvulis biconvexis striatis giaucescentibus. 



Loc. Eabbit-proof fence east of Watheroo ; Max Koch. 



Frutex 10-15 ped. alt. Spinas ^-1 unc. long. Phyllodia 6-9 lin. 

 long., 2-2|- lin. lat. Pedunculi 3-4 lin. long. Spicas 3-4 lin. long. 

 Legumen 3-4 unc. long. Semina ignota. 



Occupies a position among the series Uninerves similar to that 

 of A. triptera Benth. among the Contimtce, and^. oxycedrus Sieber, 

 A. verticillata Willd., and allied species among the Pungentes. 



Acacia Hynesiana. Fruticosa, gracillima, copiose ramulosa, 

 ramulis (junioribus) sparse viscidulo-tomentosis cito glabris tereti- 

 bus flexuosis penduUs, phyllodiis lineari- vel filiformi-teretibus 

 flexuosis basi deorsum recurvatis sursum apice rectis vel uncinatis 

 obtusis 4-nerviis obscure quadrangulosis, stipulis obsoletis, spicis 

 perbreviter pedunculatis vel sessilibus, rhachi glabro, floribus 

 4-meris, calyce sparse sericeo breviter lobato, petalis duplo longi- 

 oribus liberis conspicue uninerviis, leguminibus breviter stipitatis 

 linearibus vix inter semina contractis valvis biconvexis parce 

 viscido-sericeis, seminibus oblongis obscure brunneis funiculo longe 

 plicato sensim incrassato sursum arillo albido psene clavato. 



Loc. Planities arenosa prope Kellerberrin ; leg. W. V. F. 



Frutex 6-10 ped. alt. Phyllodia 3-5 unc. long. Spicse 4-6 lin. 

 long. Legumina saepissime 3 unc. long. 



Allied to A. epliedroides Benth. and A. merinthophora Pritzel.
