The phyllodes are much shorter and narrower than typical 

 plectocarpa and have only two nerves. It is obvious that 

 (a) and (b) were used by Mueller for the purpose of figuring 

 A. plectocarpa in the "Iconography," as regards details in 

 addition to the phyllodes. 



The pods have a translucent or waxy lustre, and speci- 

 mens closely approaching (a) and (b), though with some 

 slight variation in the venation, are available from 

 Etheridge River, North Queensland (W. E. Armit, No. 624), 

 and shrub of 8 — 10 feet, Oloncurry Road, Normanton, Gulf 

 of Carpentaria (R. H. Oambage, No. 3935). 



No. 3935 has scanty remains of flowers which appear to 

 be identical with those of No. 93, about to be described. 



We have, in my view, a new species, and it may be 

 described as follows: — 



Frutex glabrus prseter paucos pilos, ramulis acute angulatis. 

 Foliis lanceolatis v. angusto-lanceolatis, paullo falcatis, 5-7*5 cm. 

 longis et 5 - 7 mm. latis, venis duabis prominentibus longitudin- 

 alibus et numerosis tenuibus parallelibus. Spicis gracilibus non 

 densissimis longitudinem 4 cm. attinentibus. Floribus 5-meris. 

 Calyce latiusculo, semi-truncato, Joborum marginibus ciliatis. 

 Petalis basi connatis vel liberis, glabris. Pistillo breve tomento 

 tecto. 



Leguminibus tenuibus translucentibus rectis, 5 cm. longis, 6-7 

 mm. latis, val varum marginibus incrassatis : valvis bulla tis, semin- 

 ibus fere transverse dispositis. 



Funiculo filiforme secundum duas plicas in arillum paullo incrass- 

 atum terminante. 



A shrub, glabrous except for a few hairs, with acutely 

 angular branchlets. Phyllodia lanceolate or narrow lanceo- 

 late, slightly falcate, narrowed at both ends, two to three 

 inches (5 - 7*5 cm.) long and 5-7 mm. broad, slightly curved 

 at the apex, with a rudimentary gland usually near the 

 apex and one always near the base, with two prominent
