present species has been, by some competent Australian 

 botanists, who have not seen the type, referred to A. 

 aciphylla. 



2. With A. Burkittii P.v.M. This is figured in Part Lix 

 of my "Forest Flora of N. S. Wales," and differs from A. 

 Coolgardiensis in the phyllodia. In the former species 

 they are ribbed, almost quadrangular, with a weak, tapering 

 point which is very hairy. The fruits of the two species 

 are very different, those of A. Burkittii being comparatively 

 broad and moniliform, with a larger, less elongated seed. 

 There are also differences in the flower. 



3. With A. leptoneura Benth, This species (one of the 

 Oalamiformes, sometimes confused with A. Coolgardiensis) 

 also has narrow sepals, and is referred to at Vol. Li, p. 261. 

 It differs from A. Coolgardiensis in the long, fine phyllodes, 

 and the flattish translucent pods of A. leptoneura. 



4. With A. pifolia Benth. The phyllodia of A. filifoHa 

 are not terete; they are quadrangular with prominent 

 nerves and some hoariness between them; those of A. 

 Coolgardiensis are terete. The calyx of A. filifolia is 

 turbinate- truncate and the other details of the flower are 

 different. 



A, oncinophylla Lindl. var. fauntleroyi n. var. 



A tali thin-stemmed shrub, locally called "Fibre-bark 

 Wattle," because of the peculiar way in which the bark 

 peels off in numerous thin, narrow layers of curly bark, 

 useful for stuffing or packing purposes. 



The plant is so viscid that it sticks to paper on being 

 pressed, like some other species. The resinous substance 

 gives the plant a delightful turpentinous odour. 



The branchlets somewhat angular, the extremities 

 covered with a short white pubescence which is shortly 

 succeeded by a thin flattish, flaky, brownish bark, which 

 later on peels off in curly flakes.
