108 J. H. MAIDEN. 



Some of Mr. Fitzgerald's Acacias from the herbarium of 

 the W.A. Department of Agriculture (received by me from 

 Dr. P. Stoward) are published in the present paper. Mr. 

 Fitzgerald's manuscript quoted, was sent by him to me on 

 the eve of his departure on active service in April, .1916, 

 although I did not read the greater part of it until Decem- 

 ber, I hope that the rest of the manuscript, at all events 

 that which refers to new species, will soon be published. 

 It would appear that some of the corresponding specimens 

 have been very much dispersed, and no complete set of 

 them exists; this is to be regretted as the collection is the 

 most important tropical West Australian one ever made. 



In the "Western Mail" (Perth, W.A.), issues of 2nd, 9th 

 and 16th June, 1906, Mr. Fitzgerald figured (small photo- 

 graphs) a number of new or rare species from the Kim- 

 berleys, some of the names being still apparently nqmina 

 nuda. The only Acacia he figured was "The fir-like 

 Acacia" (A. suberosa A. Ounn.). 



Some of Mr. Fitzgerald's manuscript has already been 

 recorded in this paper as supplementary to the observations 

 of Bentham in the Flora Australiensis; the species Mr. 

 Fitzgerald has recorded as new for the tropical west are 

 as follows: — 



41. A. Luehmanni F.v.M. 



Inglis' Gap, King Leopold Ranges; Packhorse Range. 

 Diffuse, 3-4 feet high, and as much across, more or less 

 viscid. In sandy soil (W.V.F.). 



42. A. lysiphlcea F.v.M. 



Inglis' Gap, King Leopold Ranges; Packhorse Range; 

 Hann River. Diffuse, 3-8 feet high; bark reddish, rather 

 rough and curly; phyllodia somewhat viscid; valves of the 

 pod hirsute. In sandy soil (W.V.F.). 



43. A. linarioides Benth. 



Bold Bluff; Isdell and Denham Rivers; Dillen's Springs.
