conoid mass; the length of the seed equal to that of the

Affiinities. 



1. With A. gonocarpa F.v.M. I think the closest affinity 

 of this species is with A. gonocarpa. A. KUnberleyensis 

 can be separated from A. gonocarpa by the more numerous 

 and strongly nerved phyllodia, the shape and position of 

 the gland. The flowers are very much alike. The seed of 

 A. Kimberleyensis presents close resemblance to that of 

 A. gonocarpa, but the funicle of the former (from the 

 materia] available) appears to be a little more wrinkled 

 than that of the latter. The pod of A. Kimberleyensis is 

 narrower and less woody. 



2. With A. arida Benth. This is another species with 

 somewhat similar flowers, but those of A. arida are rather 

 broader in the calyx-lobes, and the petals do not appear to 

 be recurved. The original description says that the calyx 

 is shortly lobed. According to a specimen seen by Bentham 

 and presented by Kew to Sydney, the lobes are divided to 

 the base. The phyllodes and stems of A. Kimberleyensis 

 and A. arida are quite different ; the phyllodes are shorter, 

 scarcely veined, and are covered with resinous dots (as 

 seen under a lens). The stems are terete, spotted and 

 hoary in appearance. 



3. With A. oncinophijlla Lindl. A. oncinophylla Lindl. 

 quoted by Mr. Fitzgerald, is a "heavier" looking plant 

 with pods of a different shape, covered with a vestiture of 

 golden hair, and is in other respects very much more remote 

 from A. Kimberleyensis than A, gonocarpa is.
