J. H. MAIDEN. 



This species is so imperfectly known, that I have con- 

 sidered it desirable to describe the variety at length, and 

 to contrast it with its species. 



A. oncinophylla. 

 Phyllodes 3-nerved, one on 

 each side of central nerve. 

 Gland removed from base i". 



Petals glabrous, the calyx 

 cleft to the base. Hairy. 

 Large bract. The peduncle 

 to the flower spike is usually 

 very short. 



The pod is golden pubes- 

 cent. 



Var. Fauntleroyi. 

 A coarser plant. Phyllodes 

 5-7 nerved, usually three 

 nerves on each side of cen- 

 tral nerve. Gland, when 

 found, at extreme base. 

 Longer and broader. 



Petals hairy, calyx trun- 

 cate, irregularly lobed, hairy. 

 Large floral bract differing 

 in shape from oncinophylla 

 (typical), (and with more 

 slender stipes). The peduncle 

 to the flower spike is some- 

 times as long as the spike 

 itself. Spike thicker. 



The pod covered with a 

 mat of silver hair, and very 

 much longer; also broader. 



Juliflorae (Falcatse). 



A. doratoxylon A. Ounn. 



This species is figured and described at Part xxxvn of 

 my " Forest Flora of New South Wales. It has become 

 necessary to re-examine material of it contained in the 

 National Herbarium, Sydney. The type came from the 

 vicinity of the Lachlan River, about half way between the 

 modern Oowra and Forbes. The following specimens are 

 very close to the type. I think it convenient to separate 

 some of the material into a variety angustifolia. We have, 

 however, intermediate forms, and, on the other hand, I
