The plants identified as Acacia gonoclada (No. 3966) were 

 found on sandy soil near Baronta, at an elevation of about 

 1400 feet, and reach a height of about ten feet. The 

 cylindrical flower spikes are from three-quarters of an inch 

 to one inch long with peduncles of about 4 mm. The young 

 phyllodes and young pods are very viscid, the latter being 

 flat, up to 5 cm. long by 5 mm. broad. The phyllodes 

 measure from four to five and a half inches long, and from 

 three-quarters of an inch to one and a half inches broad, with 

 several prominent nerves confluent with the lower margin 

 near the base. These dimensions are slightly in excess of 

 those quoted by Bentham for flowers, pods and phyllodes.
