APPENDIX IV. 347 



In Mr. Hill's collection under review we have : 



" No. 801. Sandstone country near Tanumbirini, N.T." Also I have : 



" Slender shrub of 8 feet in dense thickets, Channel Island, Port Darwin, 

 1st June, 1916 (G. P. Hill, No. 435)." In young pod. 



There is a gland a little (half inch) above the base of the phyllode. The 

 calyx is very narrow-spathulate. The petals are glabrous, united two-thirds 

 of the way up, but separating at a touch. Pistil smooth. 



A word of caution may be desirable as to the considerable similarity in 

 phyllodes and flowers of this variety, and A. homoclada, F. v. M. {Fragm., xi., 

 34) (see Iconography), but the arillus is very different. 



SUB-SEEIES DiMIDIATAE. 



39. A. latifolia, Benth. — " 624. North Island, Gulf of Carpentaria, 

 20th October, 1911." Flower and fruit. 



40. A. holosericea, A. Cunn. — The following note on the seed may be 

 added from a ripe, fresh specimen, from Darwin. 



When the twisted valves open, the small, perfectly black, highly pohshed 

 seed drops out and remains for some time, suspended by a long funicle which is 

 attached to a bright yellow aril (G. F. Hill, No. 321). 



Lower Victoria River (R. J. Winters and E. J. Dunn), Tanami (Dr. H. I. 

 Jensen). 



41. A. dimidiata, Benth. — " 56."). 20 miles south-west of Borroloola, 

 7th September, 1911." In pod. 



■' 826. Ranges Hodson Downs, 5th April, 1912." In flower. 

 Lower Victoria River (R. J. Winters and E. J. Dunn). 



BiPINNATAE. 



42. A. Farnesiana. Willd. — " 44. Henbury Station, Finke River, 9th 

 March, 1911." 



43. A. Bidwilli, Benth. — " 840. McMinn's Bar, 7th April, 1912." 

 This specimen has about 46 pinnules to a leaflet ; in the " Iconography" figure 

 there are 62 pinnules. Also Darwin (Prof. Baldwin Spencer), Tanami tinfields 

 (Dr. H. I. Jensen, No. 201). 



44. A. Sutherlandi, F.v. M. — " 537. Tree, 35 feet; 4 inches in diameter 

 Head of Kilgour River, 30th August, 1911." 



38 pinnules to the leaflet in this specimen ; in the " Iconography" 32 are 

 figured. 



The type came from Flinders River, North Queensland ; the present is 

 believed to be the first occasion on which it has been recorded for a definite 

 Northern Territory locahty.
