It is also found in New South Wales. There is a speci- 

 men in this Herbarium from the Lachlan River, dated 

 September 1882, by an unknown collector. It was also 

 received from P. E. Lewis of Shuttleton near Oobar in 

 January 1908, and from Archdeacon P. E. Havilaud from 

 the same locality in September 1911. There is a note by 

 the latter in "Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W." xxxvin, 645, (1913) 

 under the name A. lineata A. Cunn., which is my fault. 



Both Mr. Gill's specimens (No. 1) and Archdeacon Havi- 

 land's (No. 2), are quite satisfactory, but as the species is 

 so little known, I trust that the following notes on them 

 will be helpful : — 



No. 1 — Phyllodes narrow, semi-terete or thick, two dis- 

 tinct parallel nerves, hooked or curved apex, gland near 

 base, very resinous, stipules minute. 



Flower-heads on a peduncle with golden hairs and sheath- 

 ing bracts. Calyx irregularly lobed, thick, hairy. Petals 

 with a few hairs. Pistil hoary, i.e., not very pubescent. 



No. 2 — Phyllode, sometimes one, usually two-nerved T 

 curved or hooked very much, resinous, a few hairs on the 

 edges and nerves, chiefly on the lower half of the phyllode. 

 Phyllode articulate between two minute stipules. 



Flowers in heads, hairy, the peduncles short, covered in 

 a golden pubescence and subtended by a large bract. The 

 peduncle does not exceed the phyllode. Calyx turbinate^ 

 hairy, i.e., similar to the Parilla specimens, but the calyx 

 more expanded. Petals hairy on the upper half. Pistil 

 pubescent.

I desire to invite attention to the very great confusion 

 which has arisen in regard to the above species. That
