APPENDIX IV. 329 



L. — In 1892 Prof. Stirling collected Acacia retivenia, F. v. 21.. at Attack 

 fireek, on the Transcontinental Telegraph Line {Proc. Roy. Soc, S. A., x\ .. 262 

 (1892)). 



M.^ — ^In the Report on the botanical collections made by R. Helms, Elder 

 Exploring Expedition, Proc. Roy. Soc, S.A., xvi., 333 (1896), which were re- 

 ported on by Mueller and Tate, no collections appear to have been made north 

 of latitude 26 degrees, but some of them were made so close to that hne that the 

 ist of Acacias given at pp. 351-2 will be useful to the student of the Northern 

 Territory flora. 



N. — We now turn to the "' Report on the work of the Horn Scientific 

 Expedition of Central Australia," Part iii., "' Geology and Botany" (1896), 

 '• Botany," pp. 117-194, by Prof. Tate. 



This work is recapitulatory to some extent of the plants collected in former 

 expeditions, and mostly named by Mueller. 



The Acacias enumerated at pp. 155-7 include the following not previously 

 enumerated : — 



72. A. tetragonophylla, F. v. M. (Hermannsburg, Kempe, Temp© 

 Downs, etc.). 



73. A. ulicina, Meissner, var. oxyclada. (West of Macdonnell Range. 



Tietkens.) 



74. A. coriacea, DC. (South Macdonnell Range, Tafe). 



A. Gowleana, Tate, and A. frumentacea, Tate, are described as new 

 at p. 187, and there are brief notes on species at p. 193. 



75. A. Cowleana, Tate, is stated to be near to A. glaucescens, Willd., 

 and A. Cunninghamii, Hook. 



76. A. frumentacea, Tate, is compared both with A. leptopetala, Benth., 

 and with A. Sentis, F. v. M. 



0. — ^Holtze, Nicholas. Bathurst Island (1910). He pubhshed a brief 

 botanical report on the island, a list of plants observed, and the fcp. report of 

 two and a-half foolscap pages is accompanied by a plan of the island. The 

 document is headed " Northern Territory of South Australia," but it does not 

 appear to have been presented to Parliament. 

 The list of plants contaias the names — 



Acacia prcslongata, F. v. M. 



A. drepanocarpa, F. v. M. 



A. auriculiformis , F. v. M. 



A. latifolia, Benth. 

 All of which have been previously recorded from the Northern Territory. 



P. — J. M. Black, in Proc. Roy. Soc, S.A., xxxviii., 460 (1914), describes 

 Captain White's collections, the greater part of which were made north of the 

 26th parallel, and therefore in the Northern Territory. 



For a list of the Acacias see p. 465. They include : — 



A. aneura, F. v. M., Crown Point, stated to be the dominating feature of 

 the local flora. 



A. cyperophylla, F. v. M. 



A. cibaria, F. v. M., 30 miles east of Deep Well. (See A. brachystachtja, 

 Benth.. p. 342 below).
