NOTES ON ACACIA. 117 



leaves; pod shortly stipitate, broad-linear, glabrous, com- 

 pressed ; valves coriaceous, slightly convex and irregularly 

 striate; seeds longitudinal, ovate, brown; funicle thick and 

 terminating in almost clavate sub-basilar arillus. 



Slopes of Bold Bluff; hills near O. 92, in proximity to the 

 Synnott Range; hills by the Oharnley and Oalder Rivers 

 (W.V.F.). Always on andesite. 



Height to 30 feet; trunk to 10 feet, diam. 6-9 in.; bark 

 dark or iron-grey, very thick, rugose, deeply longitudinally 

 fissured and corky. Timber pale, and not very hard. Pinnse 

 3-5 in. long, the common petiole 3 — 5 in. Leaflets i~f 

 inch long. Pod 3-5 inch long, \ inch broad. Seeds fully 

 5 lines long. Affinity to A. elata A. Ounn. 



(Its closer affinity is, however, with A. pruinosa A. Ounn. 

 an eastern Australian species, closely resembling that 

 species in the leaflets. The resemblance to A. elata is 

 more remote. Its pods resemble those of A, Bidivilli Benth. 

 Its affinities cannot usefully be further investigated in the 

 absence of flowers. Mr. Fitzgerald apparently saw some, 

 for he describes them "in globular heads," but he does not 

 describe their structure. I have only seen leaves and old 

 pods.— J.H.M.).

 De Gray (Grey) Rivers. These are the "North-western " 

 plants. The paper includes only Monocotyledons, Ferns, 

 and a Casuarina.
