usually phyllodes, but after 
theadventofseveral phyllodes 
bipinnate leaves may reappear 
with from one to six pairs 
of pinnee, the latter having 
occurred on a Jervis Bay 
seedling; some of these pinna 
have up to twenty-one pairs 
of leaflets. 
One remarkable bipinnate 
- leaf with one pair of pinne 
. had one pinna intact with 
’ nineteen pairs of leaflets, while 
the other pinna, with twenty-
