NOTES ON ACACIA. 503 



confusion, which Mr. Baker tried in part to clear up by the 

 proposal of a new species (fuliginea), was acquiesced in by 

 me, and much material was distributed from this herbarium 

 under that name, but I will show that it is a synonym of 

 A. ixiophylla. The confusion of A. ixiophylla and A. 

 montana is brought under notice for the first time. 



To clear the ground, I give translations of the original 

 descriptions of A. ixiophylla, glutinosa and montana. 

 (A) Acacia ixiophylla Benth., Lond. Journ. of Bot., I, 364 (1842), 



Very branched, glabrous or minutely pubescent, viscid, phyllodes 

 narrow oblong-lanceolate, subfalcate, obtuse with an oblique apex 

 and minutely mucronulate or glandular, thinly multinerved, 

 narrowed at the base, peduncles downy, solitary or very shortly 

 racemose, capitula under twenty flowers in the head. 



Phyllodia under an inch in length, scarcely two lines broad, 

 subcoriaceous and much thinner than A. sclerophylla. Most of 

 the racemes two to three headed. North of Liverpool Plains, 

 New South Wales. Cunningham (Allan). 



(B) Acacia glutinosa F.v.M., in Fragm. iv, 6. 

 [N.B. the italics are those of the original.] 

 A shrub somewhat glabrous and viscid, the branchlets at first 

 angular. Stipules obsolete, phyllodes oblong -linear, gradually 

 narrowed towards the base with many fine veins which are uniform 

 and immersed (immerse), obtuse, minutely apiculate, straight or 

 slightly curved, the two finely-downy peduncles about as long or 

 a little longer than the many flowered capitula. The stipes of the 

 bracteoles hair-like and the lamina sub-cordate or rhombic. Sepals 

 linear, almost free, more than half as large as the corolla, pods 

 somewhat papery curled and flexuose, rather short, viscid, broadly 

 linear, with two valves continued within, seeds ovate, dark black, 

 shining, arranged longitudinally and marked on either, side with a 

 large oblong faint areole, with a dark sub-lateral cymbiform 

 strophiole about a third as long as the seed. In New Holland, 

 South West Australia, (Maxwell).
