Scrub near Monarto South (E. H. Ising) ; flowering 

 August, 1919; fruiting December. Mr. Ising writes: — ''I 

 only saw 24 plants and they were all growing within a short 

 distance of on© another, in the shelter of three species of 

 mallee (Eucalyptus gracilis, E. incrassata, and another). The 

 soil was a loose reddish sand, which extended in considerable 

 areas over a flat or undulating country." 



This species is, in its oblique-nerved and oblique-pointed 

 phyllodes, allied to A . ohliqua, acinacea, Merrallii, and 

 glandulicar'pa. It has much smaller phyllodes than any of 

 those species except A. gland uli car pa, F. M. Header, and it 

 differs from • the last-named in the phyllodes even smaller, 

 with the nerve and glandular point curved outwards or down- 

 wards, whereas glandidicarpa has the nerve and point in- 

 curved towards the axis of the branchlet. In the pod the 

 two species differ entirely, A. . glandtdicar'pa having a broader 

 pod, not curved, and covered with rather long glandular 

 hairs, while A . rhetinocarpa has a slender, curved, resinous- 

 glossy pod. In the funicle sharply bent backwards under the 

 aril, it resembles A. rigens, Bynoeana., and Menzelii. 



A. Merrallii, F. v. M. Minnipa (Manager of Govern- 

 ment Farm, per Prof. Osborn). A Western Australian 

 species previously found at Charra, near Fowler Bay, and 

 labelled by Prof. Tate in his herbarium ''A. ohliqua'' and 

 ''A. Meissneri," an error which was first corrected by Mr. J, 

 H. Maiden (these Trans., xxxii., 278). The Minnipa speci- 

 mens show that the original description must be slightly 

 amplified, as the young phyllodes are silky-pubescent and the 

 pubescence sometimes persists on the mature phyllode, while 

 the peduncles are in many cases twin. 



LiNACEAE.
