appeared, and these have been succeeded by a phyllode, 
but in no case has there been a bipinnate leaf. Further 
tests will be made.

Fig. 1. Acacia neriifolia. Leaf with three pairs of pinne. Natural size. 
Acacia Oswaldi commences with an opposite pair of 
pinnate leaves, and these may be succeeded by a pinnate, 
a bipinnate leaf, or a phyllode. In afew cases where the 
third leaf has been simply-pinnate, the fourth has been 
reduced to a phyllode, and in such cases, as also where 
No. 3 has been a phyllode, there has been no bipinnate leaf 
on the plant. Lubbock describes this species as having 
abruptly pinnate leaves, but speaks of one first leaf as 
** pinnate, with one pair of pinne,’’ the word pinne being 
possibly intended for leaflets. He appears to have had only 
two seedlings to guide him.’
