3. With A. lunata Sieb. I mention this because Mueller 

 first suggested the affinity, and the late Mr. Betche and I 

 followed him. He and we had only the flowers (and the 

 affinity of these is not very close), but discovery of the 

 seeds shows that the two species are sharply separated, A. 

 lunata having a short non-encircling funicle terminating in 

 a fleshy aril on the top of the seed. 



Uninerves (Racemosae). 

 4. Acacia Ohalkeri n. sp. 



Frutex dumosus circa 6', ramulis angulatis. Phyllodiis oblan- 

 ceolatis, apice breve mucronata, ad 4*5 cm. longis et 9 mm. latis. 

 Inflorescentia racemosa phyllodios non superante, capitulis non 

 numerosis circa 18-floris. Calyce paullo corolla longiore, corollae 

 apice brevibus pilis fimbriata, petalis glabris, pistillo laeve. Legu- 

 mine fere piano rec toque circa 7 cm. longo 7 mm. lato, seminibus 

 longitudinaliter dispositis. Funiculo semen bis circumcingente, 

 in arillo clavato terminante. 



Species A. retinodes Schlecht., et A. rubidce A. Cunn., amDis 

 videtur. 



A small bushy shrub of about six feet, with angular 

 branchlets. 



Phijllode. Oblanceolate, the apex with a short mucrone, 

 which is sometimes turned a little on one side. Up to 4*5 

 cm. long and to about 9 mm. in its widest part. Tapers 

 gradually into the point of attachment to the branchlet. 

 Margin slightly thickened, midrib distinct, lateral veins 

 attached to the midrib and almost feather-veined. A gland 

 a little way up the phyllode, but the phyllode is not con- 

 stricted or bent at the place of the gland. 



Inflorescence racemose, not exceeding the phyllodes. 

 No stipules observed. 



Flowers about eighteen in the head, heads of flowers not 

 numerous. Calyx a little longer than the corolla, fringed
