ACACIA SEEDLINGS. 419 
somewhat oblique, tapering towards the base, and termin- 
ating in a short, straight or curved point. 
This is the third seedling described in this series where 
the No. 3 leaf has been reduced to a phyllode, the previous 
ones being A. excelsa and A. alata (supra). 
In one case, after the second bipinnate leaf had appeared, 
a simply pinnate leaf grew in the axil of the cotyledon, a 
most unusual occurrence, and a further remarkable feature 
was that the under, and not the upperside was next to the 
stem of the plant.
