A. proxima Maiden, this Journ. li, 105. 

 (Syn. A. camptoclada Pritzel). 



It is a tropical congener of A. doratoxylon. I have not 

 yet seen satisfactory pods, and some differences between 

 the two species have already been gone into (loc. cit.) It 

 may be added that A, proxima has a shorter calyx, only 

 half the length of the petals, whereas the proportion is one 

 third in A. doratoxylon. The ovary is much more densely 

 hairy in A. proxima. 



Additional localities in North West Australia are Broome, 

 West Kimberley (No, 126), and near junction of Lennard 

 and Barker Rivers (No. 15-16). (Both collected by W. V.. 

 Fitzgerald).
