ACACIA SEEDLINGS. 1 1 3 



Leaves— No. 1. Abruptly pinnate, petiole about 3 mm., 

 glabrous; leaflets one to two pairs, the basal pair oblong- 

 acuminate, the apical pair often obovate, 3 to 4'5 mm. long, 

 1 to 2'5 mm, broad, upperside green, underside reddish- 

 brown, midrib distinct on underside; rachis about 2 mm., 

 Tsith terminal seta. 



No. 2. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole 4 to 9 mm., glabrous, 

 with terminal seta; leaflets two to three pairs, oblong- 

 acuminate to obovate, 2 to 5 mm. long, 1 to 2 mm. broad, 

 mucronate; rachis 4 to 7 mm., with terminal seta; stipules 

 flat acuminate scales. 



Nos. 3 and 4. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole 6 mm. to 1*4 

 cm., glabrous; leaflets three to five pairs; rachis 6 mm. to 

 1 cm. 



Nos. 5 to 7. Abruptly bipinnate petiole 1*1 to 2*9 cm., 

 vertically dilated to 1 mm. in No. 5, and to 6 mm. in 



No. 7. 



In the case of No. 6 the midrib is below the centre of the 

 lamina, with a finer parallel vein above. In No. 7 the 

 midrib is below the centre of the lamina, with a finer 

 parallel vein above and below, and above each of these 

 there is an even finer vein. Leaflets five to seven pairs. 



No. 8. This may be a phyllode or abruptly bipinnate, 

 petiole up to 2*5 cm. long, 5 mm. broad. 



Nos. 9 to 12. Ouneate-oblong, glabrous phyllodes, some- 

 times slightly viscid, with venation similar to the dilated 

 petiole of No. 7, except that the three principal veins in 

 the phyllodes are of about equal prominence, the middle 

 one runs along the centre of the lamina, and sometimes a 

 fourth very fine vein may be seen near the lower margin, 

 making seven in all.
