ACACIA SEEDLINGS. 1 1 3 



acuminate, 4 to 5 mm. long, 1*5 to 2 mm. broad, upperside 

 green, underside red, midrib fairly distinct, secondary vein 

 showing under lens, glabrous with finely ciliate margins; 

 rachis 2 to 3 mm. long, slightly pilose, excurrent; stipules 

 reduced to scales. 



No. 2. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole slightly dilated in 

 some cases, from about 5 mm. to 1 cm. long, pilose to hoary, 

 excurrent; leaflets two pairs, upperside green, underside 

 red, margins reddish with a few scattered hairs; rachis 

 pilose, excurrent. 



No. 3. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole usually dilated, with 

 a nerve along lower margin, pilose to hoary, excurrent ; 

 leaflets two to three pairs. 



No. 4. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole vertically flattened, 

 1*5 to 2 cm. long, 2 mm. broad, with prominent nerve along 

 lower margin and three or four finer veins above, pilose to 

 hoary, excurrent; leaflets three to four pairs, upperside 

 green, underside at first pale red, becoming green, margins 

 slightly ciliate; rachis pilose, excurrent. 



No. 5. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole vertically flattened, 

 with prominent nerve along lower margin, and 8 or 9 finer 

 ones above, some not extending the whole way. 



No. 6. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole vertically flattened, 

 hoary, 3*5 cm. long, 6 mm. broad, narrowed at both ends, 

 with a prominent nerve about 2 mm. from the lower margin, 

 and a second a little less prominent about 2 mm. above, 

 thus dividing the petiole into three equal sections, each of 

 which is finely striate with parallel nerves; leaflets four 

 to five pairs ; stiplues reduced to hoary scales, about 1*5 mm. 

 long, *5 mm. broad at base, tapering to a point. 



Nos. 7, 8 and 9. Phyllodes with the two prominent nerves 

 as in No. 6, and a third though slightly finer one about 

 equidistant below them, the interspaces being finely striate,
