 Acacia accola,* n.sp. 



Wallangarra (Jennings), on the Queensland border, on granite 

 hills; in fruit, December, 1903, in flower, July, 1904 (J. H. 

 Maiden and J. L. Boorman); Mt. Dangar, Gungal (J. L. Boorman; 

 September, 1904); Stanthorpe, Q. (J. L. Boorman; November, 

 1904). 



An erect, glabrous, tall, busby shrub about 6-8 feet high, with 

 compressed angular young branches. Phyllodia linear, slightly 

 curved or occasionally nearly straight, generally 3 to nearly 5 

 inches long, and about 1 line broad, obtuse but usually with a 

 hooked point, 1-veined, the lateral veins concealed in the tissue; 

 marginal glands 1 or 2, below the middle of the phyllodia or 1 

 above the middle, mostly very prominent, rarely absent. Inflor- 

 escence a slender raceme, about \\ to 2 inches long with about 

 9 or 10 flower-heads on slender short peduncles, each flower-head 

 containing 10-20 flowers. Calyx (in the fully opened flower) 

 5-lobed, with spathulate lobes thickened at the top. Petals free, 

 rather narrow, twice as long as the calyx, quite glabrous as well 

 as the ovary. Pods of waxy lustre, linear, flat, slightly curved, 

 generally about 3 to 4 inches long and \ inch broad, but occa- 

 sionally attaining nearly 6 inches in length, not or only rarely 

 contracted between the seeds, with slightly thickened margins. 

 Seeds longitudinally placed along the centre of the pod, the 

 funicle thickened under the seed but not folded. 



It is most nearly allied to A. neriifolia A. Cunn., from which it 

 differs in its narrower phyllodes, less numerous flowers in the heads 



* In allusion to its occurrence on the New South Wales-Queensland border.
