The co-types came from Lake Austin, H. S. King, and 

 between Yuin and the Murchison River, Ernest Giles. (To 

 quote more than one specimen as a type is to be deprecated, 

 and has often led to uncertainty). 



(1) Mr. I. Tyson, Mount Narryer, Murchison River, sent 

 it to the late Mr. R. Helms in 1897 with the note "The 

 native name is "Turla." Settlers sometimes call it "Round- 

 leaf Mulga." 



(2) A. euplileba W. V. Fitzgerald, in Journ. W. A. Nat. 

 Hist. Soc. (May, 1904), was described from a small leaved 

 form of A. craspedocarpa in young bud and without pods. 

 Type of A. euplileba from near Milly's Soak, near Oue r 

 Murchison River district. 



(3) This specimen (No. 2) may be identical with "A plant 

 with smaller phyllodia, obtained near Stuart's Range by 

 Mr. Winnecke, may belong to A. craspedocarpa also; the 

 specimens however are in a young flowering state only." 



(4) Diels and Pritzel in Engler's Bot. Jahrb., xxxv, 304,. 

 with fig. 35a, also found it in the Austin district. 



(5) A dense, sturdy shrub of 6 - 8 feet. In both flower 

 and fruit. Cue to Milly's Soak (J.H.M., September, 1909). 

 The flowers, the only ones I have seen, are sub-spicate. 



(6) Tampa, 120 miles north of Kalgoorlie, in early fruit 

 (J. F. Jutson, No. 9, July, 1915). 



Mueller says "The phyllodia of our new species are not 

 dissimilar to those of A. translueens, though generally 

 broader, but there is a wide difference in flowers and fruit; 

 of real affinity is A. lysiphlcea, from which however, as 

 well as from nearly all other species, it is really distin- 

 guished by its remarkably broad-margined fruit, reminding 

 in that of A. sericata" 



Fitzgerald gives the affinity as A. dictyophleba F.v.M.,. 

 doubtfully, basing it on the venation of the phyllodes.
