182 J. H. MAIDEN. 



Western Australia. 

 Eucla (J. D, Batt, from Dr. F. Stoward, who bad received 

 it from the Melbourne Herbarium). In flower and fruit. 



Affinities. 



1. With A. papyrocarpa Benth. The two species recall 

 each other by the size and texture of their chartaceous 

 pods, but the phyllodia of A. papyrocarpa are narrower* 

 less flattened and more rigid, while in flower-details, the 

 sepals of A, papyrocarpa are less narrow, and shorter in 

 proportion to the corolla. It would seem, however, that 

 A, papyrocarpa comes closest to A. Havilandi. 



2. With A. pendula A. Ouuu. So far as I have been able 

 to learn, the new species has been looked upon as a Myall 

 or a form of it. This is contributed to by a superficial 

 view of the shape of the phyllodes and their often silvery 

 appearance, and the often pendulous character of the 

 branchlets. But reference to Plate 61, Part 16 of my 

 "Forest Flora of New South Wales" will show that in flower 

 details and in shape of the pods the two species are very 

 different. 



3. A. Cambagei R. T. Baker. This species is figured by 

 the author at Plate xlii, Proc.Linn. Soc.N,S. W.,xxv, (1900), 

 and also by myself at Plate 121, Part 32 of my "Forest Flora 

 of New South Wales." As compared with this species, it 

 is a medium sized tree and is known for its unpleasant 

 smell on the approach of rain. Its phyllodia are silvery, 

 but much broader, and the venation more defined. The 

 flowers are more hairy, and the calyx only about a third 

 the length of the corolla. There are some similarities in 

 pod and seed, but the pods of A. Cambagei are straighter 

 and less reticulate.
