Fig. 5. Acacia holosericea. 



Adult leaf showing 

 convergence of three 

 prominent veins towards 

 lower margin. About 

 two-thirds natural size. 



distance at both ends, and extends 

 from the base of the pinnae to the 

 stem where it becomes decurrent. 

 There is also a fine nerve along the 

 lower margin. This fine vein and 

 the prominent nerve appear to cor- 

 respond with the more prominent 

 lower marginal nerve in No. 6. The 

 finer though distinct central vein is 

 scarcely confluent with the prominent 

 nerve at either end ; leaflets eight to 

 ten pairs. 



No. 8. A phyllode with two dis- 

 tinct nerves, equally prominent, 

 confluent at the apex and also at 

 the lower margin near the base, while 

 a third slightly less distinct nerve 

 follows on the lower margin, the 

 whole being thinly sprinkled with 

 short fine hairs, but very much less 

 dense and conspicuous than the 

 beautiful silky pubescence which 

 appears on the usually triplinerved 

 adult foliage.
