Acacia ligulata, A. Cunn. Meteor bore, near Murn- 

 peowie; near Mount Lyndhurst Mine (H. W. Andrew). 



A. Sowdeni, Maiden, in Journ. Roy. Soc, N.S. Wales, 

 liii., 180, t. 11 (1920). Park-lands of Port Augusta, near 

 the Roman Catholic Cathedral (flowering September; 

 J. M. B.). A handsome shrub 2-5 m. high, with abundance 

 of flowers and several stems, rough brown fissured bark and 

 drooping branches. The type was collected here by Mr. J. 

 H. Maiden during a visit to South Australia in January, 

 1907. Tarcoola (September; J. M. B.). I considered this to- 

 be a desert form of the same species, but Mr. Maiden, to 

 whom specimens were submitted, has doubts as to their identity 

 and thinks the Tarcoola plant may be A. Loderi, a Broken 

 Hill species which he has recently described. The phyllodes 

 are narrower than in most of the specimens collected at 

 Port Augusta, being usually 1^-2 mm. broad. The inflor- 

 escence and flowers are the same, but no pods have yet been 

 obtained. My field note at Tarcoola says: "Tree with large 

 butt, branching near base, 6-7 m. high, the upper branches 

 spreading and drooping; bark rough, whitish." It also grows 

 further west along the East-West Railway, and is locally 

 known as "myall." 



A. Biirkittii, F. v. M. Eighty miles north of Ren- 

 mark (Dist. M; J. B. Cleland). This species is well known 

 in the Broken Hill district, N.S.W., but has not, as far as 

 I know, been hitherto recorded from any part of South Aus- 

 tralia except the typical locality near Lake Gilles, E.P. 



A. tarculends, J. M. Black. Tarcoola (J. M. B.). Ta 

 the particulars already published, the following field note 

 may be added : — A dense glaucous shrub, 1-2 m. high, almost 

 globular in shape, the spreading stems rising from the base 

 of the plant, which is clothed with foliage down to the ground. 

 Growing near the old town of Tarcoola, beside the creek in 

 front of the Tarcoola Blocks Mine, and on the plain. Pods 

 not yet ripe (September 20), curved, 4-8 cm. long, about 

 1 cm. broad, flattish, thick on the margin, not constricted 

 between the seeds, covered by a close golden or reddish 

 tomentum. Seeds not fully developed but apparently oblique. 



A . brachystachya, Benth. Wynbring. A neat, compact 

 shrub or tree, about 4 m. high, of grey appearance owing to- 

 the colour of the foliage; pods beginning to ripen in Sep- 

 tember, numerous, 3-5 cm. long, almost flat. 



Zygophyllaceae . 

 Zygophyllum Howittii, F. v. M. Murnpeowie (flowering 

 August; H. W. Andrew). Mueller's types were in fruit and 

 he does not mention the number of stamens. In all my
