Affinities.' 



1. With A. resinomarginea W. V. P. It seems that this 

 species is perhaps closest to A. Jutsoni, subject to the 

 discovery of fruits. The phyllodes of A. resinomarginea 

 are somewhat flatter and have "the angles margined with 

 a crenulated resinous line;" the spikes of flowers of A. 

 resinomarginea are more interrupted, but the individual 

 flowers of the two species resemble each other very closely. 



2. With A. microneura Meissn. This species has a 

 general resemblance to A. Jutsoni, but in A. microneura 

 the phyllodia are flattened, and the spikes sessile; the 

 flowers are different, e.g., in A. microneura the calyx is 

 more divided and more hairy, while the petals are divided 

 low down, the corolla not being gamopetalous as in A. 

 Jutsoni. 



3. With A. Tratmaniana W. V. F. The leaves of this 

 species are more filiform, more rigid and more numerous, 

 but the individual phyllodes are quadrangular, although the 

 sculpture is different, there being an absence of the central 

 rib on each side. The spikes of A. Tratmaniana are sessile, 

 the calyx more deeply cleft, and the petals separate. 



Juliflorse (Falcatse). 



XIX. A. acuminata Benth. 



A. Oldfieldii F.v.M. A. signata F.v.M. 



A. lasiocalyx O. Andrews. 



Under his own A. acuminata, Bentham iu B. Fl. ii, 404, 

 quotes Drummond's 3rd Ooll. No. 99. A large specimen 

 received from the British Museum is neither in flower nor 

 fruit, but there is no doubt it is A. lasiocalyx C. Andrews. 

 Drummond's specimen, quoted as No. 9, also without flower 

 and fruit, is the same species. This reputed 9 is probably 

 a reversed 6, and is Drummond's 5th Ooll. No. 6, as quoted 

 in B. Fl. ii, 404.
