NOTES ON ACACIA. 227 



4. With A. aulaeocarpa A. Ounn. The present species 

 resembles A. aulaeocarpa very much in foliage, except that 

 that of the latter species is larger as a rule. It is, how- 

 ever, sometimes difficult to separate the species on that 

 character. The pods of A. aulaeocarpa are, however, quite 

 different, being coarse and broad. The timbers of the two 

 species are very different. 



A. argentea Maiden, Proc. Roy. Soc, Q., xxx, 41. 



I have received this species from Eidsvold, in the Mary- 

 borough district, Queensland, which brings its range con- 

 siderably farther south. 



Dr. T. L. Bancroft (No. 33) describes it as a weak shrub, 

 six feet in height. His pods are linear-lanceolate, about 

 6 cm. long and 2 mm. wide, of a resinous or waxy lustre, 

 the margins of the valves slightly thickened, the valves 

 deeply embossed by the longitudinally arranged seeds, 

 which are pale brown and have no areole. The funicle is 

 filiform and long, and terminates in an arillus which forms 

 a shallow oblique cap on the seed. Also from the Bovven 

 district, Queensland (J. E. Young, through 0. T. White).
