488 J. H. MAIDEN. 



Seeds longitudinally arranged in the centre of the pod. 

 Funicle almost thread-like to the first kink, then a short 

 slightly broader expansion to another kink, then a fleshy, 

 clavate, lateral aril partly encircling the top of the seed. 



Habitat. Near the Kowmung River, close to Yerranderie, 

 N. S. Wales. The locality is in the southern highlands, 

 about thirty miles in a direct line westerly of Camden. It 

 is the only locality known at present. All collected by 

 R. H. Oambage, and the numbers and comments (in inverted 

 commas) are his.

I dedicate this species in honour of Mrs. Elizabeth 

 Clunies-Ross who, with Mrs. Kettlewell and myself, founded 

 the Australian Wattle Day League in the year 1909, and 

 who was, for some years, Honorary Treasurer of the Sydney 

 Branch. It also commemorates her late husband, an 

 esteemed member of this Society for many years and a 

 Vice-President of the League.
