324 THE TLORA OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY. 



So that Mueller, in his valuable paper in Journ. Linn. Soc, iii., 114 

 (1859), recorded 41 species of Acacia for the Northern Territory, which are now 

 accepted as valid records. 



B. — ^In " Landsborough's Exploration of Australia," edited by J. S. 

 Laurie, there is an Appendix by Mueller, of a list of plants noticed round the 

 GuU of Carpentaria from the Roper to the Gilbert (1862). 



This tract includes part of Queensland, but that portion from the Roper 

 River going south and east to the Queensland border is in the Northern Territory. 

 The Gilbert River is of course in Cape York Peninsula. 



Following is the list of Acacias recorded by Mueller, and although we can- 

 not in all cases say which were actually obtained from the Northern Territory, 

 it so happens that they are all Northern Territory species. 



lysiphlcea, F. v. M. 



delibrata, A. Cunn. (?) 



torulosa, F. v. M. 



conspersa, F. v. M. 



calligera, F. v. M.= A. Wick- 

 hami, Benth. 



umbellata-, A. Cunn. 



sericata, A . Cunn. 



holosericea, A. Cunn. 



limbata, F. v. M. 



dimidiata, Benth. 



latifolia, Benth. 



Farnesiana, Willd. 



suberosa, A. Cunn. 



42. A. suberosa, A. Cwwra., is the only addition to the preceding list. 



C. — Report by Mr. F. G. Waterhouse on the Fauna and Flora, Natural 

 History and Physical Features of Australia, on the line of J. M'Douall Stuart's 

 Route across that Continent, from the South to the North Coast. (Parlia- 

 mentary Paper, S.A.,No. 125, 1862.) The botanical references are scanty; 

 brief ones referring to Acacias will be found at pp. 8 and 10 (Mulga, Myall 

 and Acacia Farnesiana). 



D. — The next list of Northern Territory Acacias is to be found in B. F!., ii. 

 (1864), but the term " North Australia," as used by Bentham, includes also 

 North-west Australia. 



The following species are additional : — 



43. Bynoeana, Benth. Gvilf of Carpentaria (Mueller). 



44. hippuroides. Reward. Attack Creek (M'Douall Stuart). 



Baueri, Benth. "North Coast" (R. Brown), which means Gulf of Car- 

 pentaria). I have not seen it from the Northern Territory, and would like to 

 see the record confirmed. Mueller omits it from the Second Census. 



45. Simsii, A. Cunn. Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria (R. Brown). 

 Seep. 346. 



46. dictyophleha, F. v. M. Mt. Humphries (M'Douall Stuart). 



47. latescens, Benth. Capstan Island, Port E sington (Armstrong). I 

 have received it, 20th April, 1916, from Koolpinvah. near Darwin. (G. F. 

 Hill, No. 436).
