 appears so soon after the first as to almost make them 

 resemble an opposite pair.

 usually dilated, with strong nerve along lower margin, 

 glabrous; leaflets two to four pairs, up to about 4 mm. 

 long, 1*5 mm. broad; rachis 3 to 9 mm., glabrous, excurrent; 

 stipules acuminate scales nearly 1 mm. long. 



Nos. 4 to 6. These may be phyllodes, or abruptly bi- 

 pinnate, petiole 1*2 to 2 cm., vertically flattened, midrib 

 prominent; leaflets three to four pairs; rachis 5 to 7 mm.; 

 stipules as in Nos. 2 and 3.
