 Fitzgerald u builded better than he knew." 



2. Wyndham, in ripe fruit (A. E.V. Woodroffe, September, 

 1903). 



3. Shrub 20 feet high; in ripe fruit. Denham River, 

 East Kimberley. (W.V.F. without number, and labelled 

 by him A. plectocarpa). 



The seeds of all three specimens are nearly globular, and 

 the almost thread like funicle has two folds, and terminates 

 in a scarcely enlarged basilar arillus. 



Specimen No. 3 contains a portion of a flower-spike. The 

 flowers are so resinous that it is difficult to dissect them. 

 The calyx is nearly divided to the base, and the sepals are 

 narrow and tipped with hairs. 



Affinities. 



1. With A. Hammondi n. sp. See p. 95. 



2. With A. pachycarpa F.v.M., a species that is imper- 

 fectly known, but I have certain direct evidence in regard 

 to it. A translation of the original description (Journ. 

 Linn. Soc, in, 139, 1859) is as follows : — 



Glabrous, branches angular on the upper side, phyllodes very 

 shortly petiolate, lanceolate or elongate-linear, more or less falcate, 

 recurved-apiculate, inclined to be three-nerved, with numerous 

 very fine parallel veins, having a gland at the base, spikes in short 

 terminal axils, solitary or two, dense and rather shortly peduncu- 

 late, calyx five-sinuate, glabrous, three times shorter than the 

 corolla, pod pale yellow, thick, elongated-oblong, flexuose, inde- 

 hiscent, torulose, marginate, obtuse at the apex, acute at the base, 

 almost straight at the sutures, seeds ovate-globose, opaque, dark, 

 somewhat compressed, with minute whitish strophioles. 



At the bank of Sturt's Creek, sub-central Australia, No. 89. 

 A tall tree, unless I am mistaken. Phyllodes 2 inches or almost 

 a foot long, about 3"' broad. Corollas small. Pods 1 J - 2|" long,
